Discover some of the great Canadian authors and titles you've been
missing. This guide describes and organizes according to reading
interests more than 500 of the best contemporary Canadian fiction
titles available today. Canadian fiction offers a wealth of diverse
pleasures to readers, from high-toned literary works to
down-and-dirty genre fiction. However, apart from the big names and
superstars, many of these authors are not well known outside of
Canada. Designed to help readers' advisors in the United States,
Canada, and other English-speaking countries make informed reading
recommendations to their patrons, this guide provides readers'
advisors and readers with an overview of Canadian fiction, covering
more than 650 popular titles—mainstream and genre fiction— most
published within the past decade. The guide categorizes mainstream
titles according to primary appeal features (language, character,
setting, and story), and identifies the secondary appeal when there
is one. Genre fiction, covered in a separate section, is organized
according to standard genres (fantasy, romance, etc.), with
subdivisions for subgenres and themes. For each title bibliographic
information and a brief annotation is provided. Subjects are
listed, along with awards, and an indication of whether the title
is appropriate for book groups. A read on section with references
to some 2,400 titles, leads you to titles with similar features.
Indexes cover author/title and subject (including awards, genre,
series character names). An appendix contains information on
Canadian Book Awards. A readers' advisory guide and reference tool,
this book is also an important aid for collection development.

Camille Saint-Saëns 1835-1921: A Thematic Catalogue of his Complete Works defines the achievement of this great French composer. All his musical works are presented: the well-recognized masterpieces, the childhood sketches, the unpublished compositions, and the previously unknown pieces now revealed for the first time. This comprehensive collection fully documents the composer's extraordinary contribution to the musical world. Volume 1 concentrates specifically on his instrumental output, while the two later volumes will cover Dramatic Works and Choral & Vocal Works respectively.
This catalogue describes MSS 1-247 and 298 in the Chapter Library
of Lincoln Cathedral, plus ten former Lincoln MSS now elsewhere.
About half of the MSS were part of the cathedral's medieval
Library; nearly all the rest came there before the late seventeenth
century. Among the MSS, which date from the eighth to the early
sixteenth century, are biblical commentaries and sermons, works of
pastoral theology and an important corpus of Middle English texts,
including the famous Thornton Romances. A group of MSS written at
the Cathedral c.1100 is notable for its distinctive decoration. The
Catalogue is preceded by a history of the Cathedral Library, based
on the rich documentary evidence, which includes two medieval
catalogues. The plates illustrate bindings, ownership marks,
important decoration and noteworthy script, including samples from
all signed and dated books.
