Book collectors are a special (and wonderful) breed, as are books related to book-collecting. This fine example lists the correct titles and original date and place of publication of more than 33,000 collectible book titles. The titles listed were written by 931 authors who used a total of 1,764 different names, including pseudonyms. The authors listed have published works of mainstream fiction; also included are novelists in the genres of crime and mystery, westerns, romance and gothic novels, children's and juvenile fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The listings provide chronological checklists of works of fiction, poetry, and published plays; in many cases, nonfiction works are also included. See also following entry.
