This is the second edition of Hoover's Handbook and what debuted last year as a single volume ( LJ 3/1/91) has now evolved into two volumes. American Business consists of single-page entries on over 500 American "enterprises" (i.e., public and private companies, government, and nonprofit entities). A sample entry consists of eight components: an overview of the enterprise; its history; financials and stock pricing (up to nine years) if available; officers; the address; product lines; rankings; and key competitors. Combined with well-written introductory and explanatory essays as well as superlative indexes, this is an even better edition than the first. World Business is new, and it examines 60 countries and world regions as well as providing background on 165 multinational companies headquartered outside the United States. The format for the company entries is similar to that in American Business . While the material on the countries is useful, given the rapid changes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, the information on this region is obviously dated. Some thought might be given to quicker updates in future editions of this volume (perhaps utilizing a looseleaf or even pocket parts). Considering the hefty price for business reference books today (notably Moody's , Standard & Poors , Dun & Bradstreet ), the Hoover's Handbook two-volume set is a bargain for what it offers. Any library--large or small--that handles business reference requests will want both volumes on its reference shelf.
