Review:
'The essential Michelin Guide to the wild, uncharted world of contemporary (and twentieth-century) writing' Robert McCrum, Observer '... quirky, opinionated and occasionally passionate. On a first skim I found more than 50 titles I am now desperate to read... an inspiring reference for groups and individuals...' Times Educational Supplement 'Every library should have one.' The Glasgow Herald 'An updated, all-embracing vade mecum for browsers.' Daily Telegraph
