The one I always go back to is “Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management” by Peggy Johnson. Not a compilation of essays, but has history.

Subject: [ALCTS-colldv] Collection Development HIstory?
Dear All: anyone know of a compilation of essays, or individual essays, about the history of collection development in the US -- like Farmington Plan, Conspectus, and all those canonical cooperative things we read about in our earlier careers? Can you recommend or know someone who can? I even recall reviewing such a book or two back in the day, but now can't put my hands on the title or any of it.
Thanks much, Ann Okerson/CRL (aokerson_at_gmail.com<mailto:aokerson_at_gmail.com>)
