The fourth edition of this manual for bibliographical and textual studies offers students and researchers a guide for producing, reading, preserving and researching all types of texts. Williams and Abbott (English, Northern Illinois U.) describe the various types of bibliographic investigation such as analytic bibliographies, descriptive bibliographies, physical embodiments of texts, textual criticism and editorial procedure. This new edition also addresses modern advances in bibliographies such as digital imaging and electronic tagging. An extensive glossary of bibliographical terms is provided as well.
