"To discuss in the short space of this paper all the interesting
and important new reference sources which have appeared
in the humanities in the past seven years is impossible. The
humanities cover many things --language and literature, fine
arts and religion and philosophy and to select the titles for this
paper was to flip a thousand coins.
Trends soon become apparent in such a task as this, for
example, the hundreds of handbooks and companions which have
appeared to give a proper background for reading, viewing, and
listening might be termed the Background Trend. Then there is
the Know-How Trend, with a flood of books on how to do every-
! thing. The Book Review Digest in five years listed over two
hundred books beginning with ""How to. ..."" There are vast
numbers of new editions of old works, some of them with only
slight revisions, but all of them sure of a market. Yearbooks
have appeared in every area--theatre, ballet, opera--and vie
with each other in excellence of illustration and format."
