It is an invaluable aid for helping readers find books that they will enjoy reading. Providing a handy roadmap to popular genre literature, this guide helps librarians answer the perennial and often confounding question "What can I read next?"

Within each genre, titles are broken down into more specific subgenres and themes. Detailed author, title, and subject indexes provide further access.

In addition to covering new titles, this edition focuses more narrowly on the core genres and includes basic readers' advisory principles and techniques.
