Author Description

"A standard work...an essential purchase for all larger German collections."--American Reference Books Annual. The only comprehensive guide to German-language publishing around the world, German Books in Print 1999-2000 provides quick access to some 710,000 titles - books, videos & audiocassettes, software, & bibles - from over 13,500 publishers in Germany (including materials, since 1988, from the former East Germany), Austria, Switzerland, & other countries. Thoroughly revised & updated, the new 28th edition contains some 100,000 entries added in the last year alone. As always, full ordering information is included for each title. The main Author-Title-Catchword set interfiles authors & titles in one convenient listing, & titles containing a subject keyword are reentered alphabetically to create a built-in subject guide. This is an invaluable resource for area studies bibliographers, government document librarians, & reference & acquisition librarians bother here & abroad. From K.G. Saur.
