Reviews “Recommended for high school and public libraries because of its broad scope and convenience…” - CHOICE “Recommended.” - The Book Report “…fill[s] a need for handy, concise information on a wide array of international cultural figures that may be difficult to find. Thus, it may be a worthwhile purchase for those libraries servicing constituencies in need of this kind of information, such as writers and students.” - ARBA “… but the presentation, straightforward and accessible writing style, and 225 images make this source easy, appealing, and likely to be used. A real reference tool for public or community college libraries.” - Library Journal
