Formerly titled Fiction Catalog, this updated, expanded edition continues to be a valuable resource for library reference systems seeking to upgrade their fiction collections. Of the 11,300
hardcover and paperback titles listed written in or translated into English, 2,680 of which are new additions, most were published in the last four years. Out-of-print titles are included. The
compilation features classic and contemporary works of literary and popular fiction (individual novels plus novels and story collections contained in composite works) recommended for a general
audience; the most highly recommended are noted for the first time. Books are first listed alphabetically by author, then by title, main subjects or themes, and under headings for genre, form,
or literary technique. As with previous editions over the past 60 years, each entry provides complete bibliographic data, price, descriptive annotations, and quoted evaluative comments.
