Title: A Very Readable Reference Book
Product review: Yes, this is a very thorough reference book wherein I feel like I am having an interesting chat with Lorna Sage about all of these fascinating authors, their books, and their times. As a wonderful addition to the text are the many fabulous illustrations that accompany many of the entries.My only problem with the book is the cover painting which I find to be creepy. Because of that, I keep this book out of sight instead on the top of a table where I would rather have it for easy reference, and even for conversation starters. I understand the painting and its probable meaning to the author, but it's creepy and I don't see its connection to an all-encompassing book of this sort.
