Mitchell's West Indian BibliographyCaribbean Books and Pamphlets9th Edition: Don Mitchell CBE QCFrom 1492 to the PresentEnglish-language Non-Fiction of the West Indies |
From the Foreword:
Mitchell's West Indian Bibliography has been a labour of love. In its earlier stages I sometimes saw its compiler walking around with stacks of computer-generated paper the full significance of which I did not guess, and I wrote him off as a somewhat nutty collector of printed works. I still suspect that things began that way. But here we have an immensely valuable product for which all who work or play with West Indian non-fiction will be deeply grateful, even the academics who might wish in some respects it were yet larger. There is no equivalent publication which is less than twenty years out of date, and none at all which is still in print.
From the Preface:
This is still a work in progress. I regret that I still have not
been able to locate a reasonably priced database that will make searching and
sorting easier. In the meantime, the
Google search feature with all its deficiencies will have to serve.
. . .
I have again to thank the many
dealers, book collectors, and West-Indian-book lovers and other correspondents
who have suggested many of the changes that have been made since the last
edition.
I look forward to continuing
to hear from those of you who have used the work and have any comment to make
or information to share.
