A High Standard for Bibliographic Scholarship

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 1999-01-19

I have frequent recourse to this bibliography, and value its succinct, astringent, and judicious annotations. But it is in its thoroughness that the book's true glory lies. I often come across a reference to a contemporary review, or an out-of-the-way article or chapter on Jeffers that I've never heard of, and think to myself, "This is such a recondite reference, surely Vardamis missed it . . . " But almost without exception I find the reference in this excellent work. This has happened twice in recent months, and many other times over the years. And whenever it happens, I am struck anew by the very high standard the author has set for works of this kind.

Excellent Volume for Mystery Fans

Helpful Votes: 15 out of 16 total.
Review Date: 2000-12-22

Having trouble deciding on which mystery novel to read? This book is a great starting point. This volume lists the "Top 100" mystery novels (actually 101) as voted by members of the Mystery Writers of America. For each book (technically some are not novels), Otto Penzler has written a brief essay, which can help you decide if you would like to read it or not.

There are also short essays on the various crime subgenres, written by an author that specializes in that area. For example, Gregory Mcdonald, author of the "Fletch" series, writes on the humorous subgenre. Another section of the volume lists interesting tidbits like, "Favorite Hiding Place for a Body" as voted by the membership. In the back, the volume lists all of the Edgar nominated books up to 1994.

So, if love mystery novels and would like to discover new authors or if you're looking for a book in which to explore in the genre, then this is the book for you.

Elizabeth Driver has created a culinary landmark of her own in this monumental bibliographic undertaking. Her book is a mandatory acquisition for cookery book collectors, food historians and anyone with an interest in Canadian publishing. Driver is the most important force in culinary bibliography and this book shows once again her meticulous care for detail and her passion for the history of the cookbook. It is the most valuable and wonderful addition to culinary bibliography in a decade.

Inner City's Cumulative Index a godsend

Helpful Votes: 7 out of 7 total.
Review Date: 1999-02-24

Anyone with more than a passing interest in Jungian psychology is bound to have a few books on their shelf published by Inner City. The series started by Toronto analyst-publisher Daryl Sharp in 1980 now has 80 titles by 39 Jungian analysts, notably several each by Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward F. Edinger, Marion Woodman, James Hollis, and Sharp himself.

Inner City's focus from the beginning has been on promoting the practical application of Jung's work by educated readers who may or may not be in analysis. As general editor, Sharp has proclaimed his faith in the importance of symbol and metaphor as a way of understanding "the modern mind," whether through dreams, fairy tales or alchemical parallels. True, there are some titles with special appeal to professional clinicians, but on the whole Inner City has left that field to others and concentrated on the psychological implications of issues that confront each and every one of us every day.

This orientation is typical of the so-called Zurich School and reflected in the fact that Inner City's stable of authors were for the most part Zurich trained and have a background in the humanities.

Personally, I have read and profited from many books published by Inner City. My only complaint has been that they bring them out faster than I can read them! Just as I'm about to catch up, I'm presented with another gem that is added to the "gotta read" pile, many of which, alas, I've never gotten to. This Cumulative Index was compiled for readers like me, and I must say it's a godsend.

Since Inner City Books claims sales to date of over a million, I imagine many others will welcome this guide to where to find what, with some 15,000 entries, generously cross-referenced. Particularly helpful is the Key at the bottom of each page.

You may scratch your head over what it means to be "Jungian," as I have, but you won't find a better overview of the scope of interests involved, and where to find it, than in Inner City's Cumulative Index.

The best!

Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2002-08-31

I recently completed my honors project for Dr. Tidwell at University of Toronto, and took two years worth of his organic chemistry courses... I have to say that they were the most enjoyable and understandable courses I have taken in my life, in fact I completed these courses in the top percentile of my class with very little studying on my own- I learned everything in his lectures! He wrote the authoritative book on Ketene chemistry, which all the researchers in that field use, and I used on my honors project. I think that he has a very good skill in presenting concepts in physical organic chemistry that has been honed with hard work over many years, and is also due to an obvious love of chemistry. I can't tell you about this book because I haven't read it yet, but when I can get the money (a little pricey for your average canadian graduate student...), I will hopefully complete my review.

Priceless

Helpful Votes: 0 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2004-06-03

I remember when I found it [Current Biography Yearbook 2003]--in a dimly lighted place near the black, oily river where the mists always swirl. That place was very old, and the ceiling-high shelves full of rotting volumes reached back endlessly through windowless inner rooms and alcoves. There were, besides, great formless heaps of books on the floor and in crude bins; and it was in one of these heaps that I found the thing. I never learned its title, for the early pages were missing; but it fell open toward the end and gave me a glimpse of something which sent my senses reeling.

Writing about photography as a vital and popular art form

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2001-02-20

Allan Douglas Coleman first began writing about photography as a vital and popular art form, and a culturally transformative medium of visual communication in the late 1960s. Under the adept editorship of Nancy Solomon, we are now presented with the first definitive bibliography of those writings spanning 1968 to 1995. The comprehensive research guide to one of the most influential 20th century photography critics annotates more than 1,450 items, with a full bibliographic citation for each specific publication, plus a brief synopsis of its content. The core reference work is enhanced with an extensive, comprehensive subject index. A. D. Coleman: A Bibliography Of His Writings On Photography From 1968 To 1995 is an invaluable and much appreciated contribution to academic and professional history of photography library reference collections.
