Bliss Bibliographic Classification - Class W : The arts

Class W is now available on this site. The files are the pdf files from which the printed version was produced, but may be updated from time to time to incorporate additions and corrections. There are no hypertext linkages within or between the files; the "find" function in pdf reading software such as Acrobat Reader can be used to find specific words, phrases or classmarks, if allowance is made for the fact that some parts of classmarks are not repeated for every occurrence in the schedule.
