Description: The database for book publishing has improved dramatically since this reviewer first began to research in this area 10 years ago, and Mr McClelland has been very thorough in documenting it all from every relevant perspective...As already indicated the completion of these reviews is a major undertaking, requiring not merely an extensive knowledge of data sources but also considerable skill in organizing material to help to guide the researcher. The most serious problem in academic life is the seemingly exponential growth of information. Tracking down and acquiring bibliographies and statistical data present far greater difficulties than the act of setting down research results on paper. For a researcher entering the relevant field, these reviews can only be described as a godsend, saving months of preliminary work. In the opinion of this reviewer, Mr McClelland's sterling efforts deserve the highest praise.
