Genreflecting, A Guide To Reading Interests In Genre Fiction Fourth Edition

Publisher: Libraries Unlimited : 1995

Seller ID: 23849

ISBN-13: 9781563083549

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good with no Dust Jacket

From the preface: this fourth edition updates the earlier editions. Much of the general information has not changed from edition to edition. Betty Rosenberg's voice echoes through this edition; so much of what she originally wrote still stands, as she stated it, with no reason to alter her erudite observations. This edition does, however, take a different approach to the chapter formerly identified as "thriller". That chapter has been divided here into two--"crime" and "adventure". Originally for library use only, ; Ex-Library; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 367 pages; 23849
