Review
This bibliography is a most welcome addition to the small body of research aids available to students of German-Polish relations. It is an attractive and professional work by a compiler who has been trained in history as well as library science. The focus is on the last one hundred years; primary sources as well as fictional works are included, and everything is thoroughly indexed by author, title and subject....this is a volume that virtually every university library will want to have.The Polish Review
