A long book does not always require a long review. All readers of Reference Reviews will know what to expect from a bibliography, and this one delivers what its title promises. It lists (without annotations) 17,600 books, articles, dissertations and theses - but not government publications - mostly in English or French, but also in several other languages, on all aspects of Canadian geography, though it does not trespass into geology. Though quite highly priced, this large-scale work is likely to be the definitive book on its topic, and as such an essential purchase for any library with a serious interest in the geography of Canada.
