Book Reviews: A Research Guide

A Guide to the Collections
of The New York Public Library

Book reviews provide summaries, contemporary criticism, and succinct evaluations about published works. Reviews normally appear within a year of the date of publication; if this date is not known, it can often be ascertained by searching the Dictionary Catalog of the Research Libraries of the New York Public Library, which lists pre-1972 acquisitions, or CATNYP, the computer catalog which records acquistions from 1972 to the present. If these two sources are unable to provide the desired information, speak to a librarian at the Information Desk.
