Comments

The 4-volume series “promises to be the most comprehensive annotated bibliography of Dickens's life and works ever compiled.”- R. B. Meecker, Choice, October 2004

Selected as one of the “Outstanding Academic Titles” in the Humanities for 2004 by Choice magazine.

“All Dickensians should look forward to the emergence [of the three remaining volumes in the bibliography]: if the first volume is representative of the immense breadth, careful organisation, and incisive critical acumen that this author brings to bear on his subject, they will be well worth the wait.”– Leon Litvack, The Dickensian, Summer 2004

“A master-work of bibliography, one that ranks with the greatest bibliographies in any field we are cognizant of.” - Patrick McCarthy, The Dickens Forum, July 2011.

“every research library and Dickens collector will wish to have a copy.” – Patrick McCarthy, The Dickens Forum, March 2005
