REVIEWS
"This guide is an exemplary research tool that will be of great help to librarians and beginning researchers looking for assistance in selecting resources for work on Northern Africa. Thoughtful and substantial annotations transform what might otherwise be an esoteric refeence work into a relevant, nuanced, and eminently useful tool. Critical comments go beyond describing the work at hand in admirable detail, directing users to its limitations or particular utility for a given purpose."?
