About this title

Synopsis

'Who Else write like? a readers' guide to fiction authors' is designed to help anyone who enjoys reading fiction to expand the number of writers they read. The book lists 1,626 authors, and with each name suggests others who write in a similar way. 'Who else?' is designed to address the very common complaint heard in libraries and bookshops: "I can't find anything to read."

This new edition, the third under its current title, has again grown in size, with an increase of over 400 in the number of authors listed. In the main, authors are only included when they have three books to their name, and when their novels are easily obtainable from libraries or bookshops. The linkages between authors are based upon recommendations from librarians in England, Scotland and Wales.

In addition to the main author sequence there are listings of authors by genre or type, and a list of prize-winning novelists.
