| Abstract: | In this edition the compilers present data for 12 regional bibliographies (one covering Eastern Africa) and 98 national bibliographies or substitute compilations (26 from African countries). The prime methodology has been to rely on personal assessment of every national bibliography. The work is arranged alphabetically by country. Each entry contains a narrative discussion in four parts: full bibliographical citation together with publisher address and current cost; historical outline of the compilation; objective statement of scope and contents; an analysis of coverage together with critical commentary on usefulness and value. |
