Volumes Two and Three, "Titles", lists tens of thousands of published works in alphabetical order. Entries provide the title as it is best known in English, the original title (if the work was originally published in a language other than English), author, date of first publication (and date of first English translation if the work was not written in English), genre, and any relevant notes--for purposes of identification (e.g., that the work is part of a series). The three volumes of the Fitzroy Dearborn Directory of Books and Authors are designed specifically for the reference librarian and provide an easy-to-use listing of virtually all the authors and works that librarians may be called to identify.Salem Press Staff is the author of 'Directory of Books and Authors' with ISBN 9781579581695 and ISBN 1579581692.
