Five out of five stars

 If you are interested in the literature of science fiction and fantasy for the years 1975-1991, then this book is an excellent reference. It is structured in what can be considered the classic organizational format. The main headings are:

*) A list of abbreviations and definitions

*) Author index

*) Title index

*) Series index

*) Doubles index

*) Major awards

Quite naturally, my first interest was the entry for author Isaac Asimov. As expected, it was an impressive six pages in length.

 As someone that has edited/proofed an index, I understand how difficult it can be. Reginald does an excellent job in organizing and distilling this vast amount of literature into a form that can be thoroughly searched.
