Great resource for historical fiction fans

I found this in my high school library today and loved it so much I just bought a used copy of it. This is an index of most of the historical fiction books published for adults and mature young adults up to 1998. Admittedly, a lot more have been published since then. This is arranged by era and area and has a little blob about each book, the place it takes place in and the year it takes place in. I look forward to using it to find new books.
