Mitchell's West Indian BibliographyCaribbean Books and Pamphlets11th Edition: Don Mitchell CBE QCFrom 1492 to the PresentEnglish-language Non-Fiction of the West Indies |
From the Foreword:
Mitchell's West Indian Bibliography has been a labour of love. In its earlier stages I sometimes saw its compiler walking around with stacks of computer-generated paper the full significance of which I did not guess, and I wrote him off as a somewhat nutty collector of printed works. I still suspect that things began that way.
But here we have an immensely valuable product for which all who work or play with West Indian non-fiction will be deeply grateful, even the academics who might wish in some respects it were yet larger. There is no equivalent publication which is less than twenty years out of date, and none at all which is still in print.
From the Preface:
The 11th (and final) edition is a completely revised version of the 10th. All links were examined to ensure they work and were replaced, where necessary, mainly thanks to wikipedia.org.
You may be wondering why this is the final edition. With the massive amount of information now available on the internet at the click of a mouse, it is not likely that there will be any continuing demand for this study. Therefore, this is likely to be the last edition that I shall publish.
