My imagination works best with facts - especially if they are a bit dated. After 10 years they should pick me up from the desert island to publish the novels I wrote there." (Full interview)"...retains its place as the most complete and comprehensive work in the field." - Ellen Broidy, in: American Reference Books Annual, 1988"...bleibt das Standardwerk fur alle Bibliotheken, Professoren und wohlhabenden Laien..." - Volker S.
