a useful and well constructed guide...
This is a useful book for those interested in literature, wishing to expand their reading, or just looking for a good book.

The book has two main sections.

The first is a series of essays by leading writers in various fields. So Michael Dibdin writes on Crime, Lee Clark Mitchell on Westerns with other essays on other genres and also major countries of fiction such as America, France etc. Each essayist picks 12 examples of the finest books in each field.

These short essays are very useful as introductions to a field or area of writing and point you in the right direction for further reading.

The second section is an A-Z listing of over 1,000 authors with short biographical details and suggested reading.

Taken together these elements make for a most informative guide which I have found very useful to increase my reading and I am sure other lovers of books will find likewise.

There are some glaring ommisions - no Haruki Murakami?! - and some of the entries can be a bit snobbish but overall there is a good balance.
