American Popular Illustration - A Reference Guide

?Best's thorough, readable, and well-organized guide is a real contribution to scholarship because popular illustration sadly exists in a gray area.... Librarians should find it useful for both collection evaluation and selection since the bibliographies include works ranging from key nineteenth-century books to recent journal articles. Appendixes annotate relevant magazines and periodicals, describe major collections of original artwork and illustrated books, and list (by artist) outstanding examples of illustrated books. An accurate analytic Index completes the volume. Most public and academic libraries, particularly those with emphases on art history, American studies, American popular culture, or book collection, will want to acquire American Popular Illustration.?-Reference Books Bulletin
