"concise, well-written entries.... Superbly detailed author, title, and subject indexes complete this winning reference work. [The competition] is not as comprehensive or date-specific as Lesher's and does not contain the useful list of reviews or the thematic breakdown. Recommended for all public libraries"--Library Journal; "[Lesher's] superbly organized overview offers a broad-based selection of 1,033 end-of-the-century titles"--Booklist; "an excellent foundation for collection development at the high school level, as well as a resource to share with the young adult reader"--VOYA; "useful"--Choice; "remarkable...a lot to enjoy in this book...highly recommended"--ARBA.
