Reviews:

• What a gem! Rarely does one encounter a title so interesting and informative in the form of a bibliography....The superb annotations for each entry are clearly the most noteworthy feature of this volume; most run about 500 words, but some are as long as 1,000. Even the shorter annotations provide a wealth of information and detail. An extensive, detailed index is also included. Very highly recommended, undergraduate through professional.

• The annotations are quite lengthy and give the compiler's perspective on what the book or article included, making it convenient to locate particular information, and many of the book selections are readily available in many bookstores and most libraries.
