Reviews

'The chronological layout of the Dictionary of World Biography makes it a good choice for libraries looking for a biographical resource organized by historical era. Although the ten volumes are meant to be used as a set, individual volumes can stand alone and can be purchased separately by libraries looking for material in specific historical periods. Recommended for public and academic libraries." - Library Journal

'Even collections that have the original series will find this book useful. The updates and the reorganization give it added value plus, not only is it a delight to have all these fascinating characters collected between two covers, it's a real education." - School Library Journal
