FYI, there is a 1992 revision of this guide.  I was part of the committee
who worked on the revision.  We also developed the Serials Acquisitions
Glossary which will someday appear on the ALCTS website.

Meanwhile you could look at the Serials Section Education Committee's
"Unraveling the Mysteries of Serials" at
http://www.ala.org/alcts/publications/unraveling.html

It has some very good information and a selective bibliography.
