Guide to the Study and Use of Reference Books (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive look at reference books by uniting, within a single volume, information on reference books that are focused on a strict set of criteria and written in the English language, with some exceptions for other languages. The book's focus is on reference materials that supply immediate access to data rather than those which offer comprehensive coverage and are meant to be read through. These kinds of reference books often exist in a separate section, apart from general circulation, in research and university libraries and are regularly called on by reference librarians. The book also covers classic works of reference, and, in some cases, more specialized or foreign language works not typically included in other similar listings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332809776_0
