Thomas F KingThanks
 to its author, I just got a copy of John Sprinkle's Crafting 
Preservation Criteria: The National Register of Historic Places and 
American Historic Preservation (http://www.amazon.com/Crafting-Preservation-Criteria-National-Register/dp/0415642566).
  This book is certainly a must-have for cultural resource management 
(CRM) and historic preservation practitioners in the U.S..  It appears 
to put what I fear is something of a happy face on the Register, but 
that's only to be expected.  The main thing is that it compresses a 
great deal of otherwise more or less inaccessible history between two 
covers, and makes some of the Register's obscure concepts somewhat 
understandable in historic context.  Highly recommended.
