-
What every legitimate bookseller should have, and what many take great pride in. The Internet is a great tool, but it is a poor substitute for a comprehensive library of bibliographic reference works. Although printed references can make mistakes too, only some idiots can write a bibliography, whereas any idiot can post something on the world wide web.
