*American Reference Books Annual*
Whenever I see a publication titled a comprehensive bibliography,
as with this volume, I get excited. Another library ideal is the
annotated bibliography, and once again the title of this book
promises me much. It does not disappoint. The compiler, a retired
lawyer-turned-librarian, notes an impressive list of sources used,
ranging from library catalogues, published lists, trade catalogues,
national and general bibliographies and indexes, periodical
sources, and several online sources such as Dissertation Abstracts,
Expanded Academic Index and ERIC.
*Reference Reviews*
Having been a lawyer in his native India and a librarian in the US,
Pandiri, now retired, completes his two-volume bibliography by
citing books and pamphlets about the life, work, ideas, and
heritage of Gandhi published in English. The 1995 first volume
cited Gandhi's own works, but this second also cites bibliographies
and compilations of Gandhi's work published since then. The
descriptive and critical annotations typically range from 50 to 100
words; annotations are missing only from works that are explained
sufficiently by title or that he did not see personally. The
arrangement is alphabetical by author; subjects and titles are
indexed.
