Maybe you’ll all feel better knowing that you’re not alone in your challenges with the Svenonius book. On the other hand, it shows a lot of love to make something like this, and as a Svenonius devotee I find this very gratifying.
I remembered today after talking about the Taylor “information hierarchy” why I decided to stop using her book and switch to Svenonius. If you are curious about this bit of 202 history, here’s a blog post I wrote about it in June 2006:
I have consumed neither Prof. Svenonius’s book nor its cake adaptation, but she was my cataloging professor a couple decades ago at UCLA. The class was among the most stimulating in library school, our discussions focusing on Nelson Goodman and Wittgenstein as often as AACR2. I will indeed have to read this later work.

LOL! That looks like some yummy intellectual information. I’m just wondering, how did it taste?
