Review of "Humanized Input, by T. Gilb and G. M. Weinberg", Winthrop Publishers, Inc., 1977

Abstract

Certainly a problem area of business data processing is the control of input. We have seen, however, few publications directed at this error-prone topic. Glib and Weinberg have given us the first volume I have seen solely concerned with input design and control. On its plus side, the book presents in handbook form chapters on default messages, positional messages, checkwords, checking and variance. I found these chapters to make good sense and provide many useful techniques to exercise over input.
