Customer Reviews

An indespensible reference

From Jerry Garcia to Richard Nixon to Charles Scribner to Tupac Shakur, this collection of biographies is difficult to put down. The recently deceased subjects of each biography come alive in the Enclopedia's concise, neat, and compelling form. A wonderful new volume to add to the already thriving set. I own both volumes 3 and 4, and I refer to them constantly for my American History classes at Princeton. I also periodically enjoy flipping through their pages randomly, and reading a short, yet interesting biography. For any lover of history, America, or biography, Scribner's Encyclopedia of American Lives cannot be topped.
