This 1930 volume provides a historical study of English book and manuscript collectors from 1530 until the time of publication.

Over one hundred different categories of Gulf oil collectibles displayed in over 500 color pictures with text including cans, signs, promotional items, clothing, and toys. If it's Gulf, its probably covered in this book. The values have been established by the author's years of collecting Gulf Oil memorabilia.

This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.
