Book Review: Law Books in Print: Volume II

Abstract

The appearance of the first volume of Law Books in Print was noted as an important bibliographical event by this reviewer in the Law Librayy Journal for May, 1958, at page 170. The publication of this second volume substantiates that observation. With its appearance, law librarians can now be assured of a continuing source of current bibliographical information about law books. The scope of the work has been expanded by volume two to include all law books in the English language published anywhere in the world-a welcome improvement in view of the increasing interest in international, foreign, and comparative law by the legal profession. More and more materials in the English language are being published which analyze, compare and translate laws and legal matters of foreign countries. The availability of a fine bibliographical tool such as we have here will be invaluable in ascertaining what is at hand to meet the demands for such publications.
