This 10th volume of the New England Bibliographies series represents the efforts of the Committee for a New
England Bibliography and its editor, Roger Parks, to keep the series of bibliographies of New England towns,
states, and the region current. It combines the entries of Volume 10, parts A, B, and C which were published for
subscribers in 1998, 2000, and 2002. The entries are organized under geographical headings and numbered
consecutively (replacing the provisional numbers used in the three parts distributed to subscribers earlier). A
lengthy author and subject index has been added. The volume includes 4461 entries - indicating that writings on
New England is a lively field and owning a complete set of these bibliographies is a valuable addition to a research
library's reference shelf. The front matter includes location symbols for the books, pamphlets and dissertations
listed in Volume 10. The volume was compiled by Roger Parks who has been the editor since 1981 and is
responsible for Volumes 5-10. [Order No. 75798]
