Publisher Synopsis
<p>"This well-designed research guide will be a welcome addition to the reference collections of librarians, students, and citizen researchers. Editor Martin manages to pack a ton of information into a compact and readable text. Liberal use of white space, clear chapter and section divisions, and a commonsense writing style make it a pleasure to use....A reference guide that is both informative and pleasurable to read is a rare bird, especially when the subject is on the dry side. Researchers using "Local and Regional Government Information" will be happy to find that it is one of those rare birds. It is also a steal at $65. Highly recommended for any library serving folks who seek government information at the local and regional level." - <p>Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin Read more...
