This review is from: Writers' and Artists' Yearbook (Writers' & Artists' Yearbook) (Paperback)

For those who already own the previous edition of this book, there is little here that should arouse your envy. However, for intending first-time buyers, there is a lot to gain by investing on this yearbook.
Its well-illustrated generous pages brim with assorted information. From writers to publishers, film makers to photographers, information is complete in this single-volume. They are well-presented too! The reasonable price-tag of this book ensured that it is affordable to anybody who may need it.
Regardless of its publication date, a typical "Writers' & Artists' Yearbook" takes the place of a mini-encyclopaedia. A good chunk of its information is timeless. Authors, journalists, historians, teachers, students, and many others would benefit from the authoritative information it provides. It is a capable reference, which should satisfy the quests of most versatile readers.
