58/100
👎 Skip It
The 1993 edition served librarians well in its day, providing solid multi-genre coverage with consistent Gale editorial standards. Like all annuals, it aged from day one, and thirty-plus years later it holds only archival interest for readers' advisory history rather than practical use. Not a book in any narrative sense.
