《苏州市志》作为本届修志中出现的优秀志书 ,其最大成功之处是有地方特色 ,体现了苏州城市文化内涵。但其不足之处也很明显 ,如修志周期过长 ,虚设层次过多致使篇幅过大 ,横分过细使内容多有交叉 ,经济部类分量过大 ,引文未注出处 ,对史料的考订不甚严格 ,版本目录有欠科学 ,未设索引等。作者认为 ,下届《苏州市志》应该重修 ,根据市场规律重新设计篇目 ,志书可以采用丛书形式分册出版 ,满足不同读者的需要。 As one of the outstanding books appearing in the current revision of the book, Suzhou City Zhi has its own local characteristics and embodies the urban cultural connotation of Suzhou. However, the shortcomings are also obvious. For example, too long the period of self-cultivation, too many fictitious levels lead to excessive space, too many cross-sections to make content more cross-sections, excessive economic component categories and no quoted quotations. Very strict, there are less scientific version of the directory, no index and so on. The author believes that the next “Suzhou City” should be rebuilt, according to the laws of the market to re-design chapters, books can be published in the form of volumes of books to meet the needs of different readers.
