Reviews

?It is for the overburdened reference librarian who must satisfy the panicking needs of the high school student who has forgotten about a humanities assignment and immediately needs information on "some" artist. The volume is built for the librarian. This book is recommended for high school and public libraries.?-American Reference Books Annual
