During even a cursory reading of the 'literature about books,' students of bibliography frequently have initial difficulties in understanding some of the terms they encounter. In A Bibliographical Companion, Roy Stokes provides an alphabetical list of such words and phrases. In this volume, the terms are defined briefly, their importance is discussed, and the author provides suggested readings designed to lead the student towards a more complete understanding. Aimed at students who are at an early stage of their bibliographical interests, A Bibliographical Companion is an invaluable resource.

AB Bookman's Weekly
Its value remains one of pointing curious readers in the direction of some of the work that lies just behind the simple functional definitions.
Choice Reviews
This unpretentious book is a pedagogical masterpiece on a topic that receives insufficient attention in the training of American librarians. It should be highly useful also to graduate students of English literature.
The Library Quarterly
...truly a companion for the student of bibliography...A recommended addition to the reference collection of any academic library.
