Abstract

To the making of guidebooks, there is apparently no end. Books in Print 1978–1980 lists 54 guide‐books to New York City, 39 to France, 32 to Mexico, and 22 to Hawaii, and that may be only the tip of the iceberg because many guidebooks are locally produced and sold without the benefit of a BIP listing. Others are produced for sale only in the countries they cover and are not ordinarily available through the book trade in the United States. As a more or less regular reviewer of travel books for Library Journal for several years, I have been amazed by the number and variety of guidebooks that pour forth every season. There are guidebooks to virtually every place on the face of the earth, and guidebooks directed at every imaginable category of traveler.

Abstract

This index accompanies the index that appeared in Reference Services Review 16:4 (1988). As noted in the introduction to that index, the articles in RSR that deal with specific reference titles can be grouped into two categories: those that review specific titles (to a maximum of three) and those that review titles pertinent to a specific subject or discipline. The index in RSR 16:4 covered the first category; it indexed, by title, all titles that had been reviewed in the “Reference Serials” and the “Landmarks of Reference” columns, as well as selected titles from the “Indexes and Indexers,” “Government Publications,” and “Special Feature” columns of the journal.
