"'(West's) thorough and comprehensive census.provides not only a fresh and reliable work of reference, but also an indispensible tool for future researchers.All future workers in the field will owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. "" work of painstaking scholarship that will be the standard reference tool for the field."" - Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 a monumental achievement." - Eric Rasmussen, Shakespeare Survey This is an essential reference work for Shakespeareans, librarians, book-collectors, and antiquarian book dealers. Through a combination of careful archival research and tireless legwork, West has located 228 copies - a remarkable 70 more than were listed in Sidney Lee's 1902 Census. "Review from Volume I: Genuinely monumental. As a piece of functional scholarship that will prompt and enable future Shakespearean scholars securely to embark upon this and other projects, West's Census is warmly to be welcomed." - The Library "As an exercise in census-making, West's book is exemplary. "The sheer extent and reach of West's researches, which have seen him in transit across the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Rest of the World not only suggest the excitement of following leads and locating copies, but say more of the hard work and hard travelling that has gone into the production of his book." - The Library here is evidence gathered on a scale that has been accorded to no other book." - Times Literary Supplement Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Global Public Health.The European Society of Cardiology Series.Oxford Commentaries on International Law.
