Editorials

Edmund Keeley

...full of vitality, knowledge, and its own poetry.

Marianne Moore

...truly a handbook...both for beginner and expert.

Richard Wilbur

A much-needed work, splendidly done: the definitions are clear; the illustrations apt; what is more, it is a pleasure to read for its own sake, and so belongs to the aristocracy of reference books.

W. H. Auden

Excellent, both in its accuracy and its clarity.

William Carlos Williams

It could be read right through, to our infinite enjoyment.
