Editorial Reviews

This work succeeds in its attempt to provide access to that which represents the best in rock literature from 1984 to 1990.

American Reference Books Annual

...presents a potpourri of subjects...a diverse collection, which could prove especially useful for tracking down articles not indexed elsewhere...

Booklist

Libraries that have the earlier two volumes know their value and should acquire the third without skipping a beat. Even public and academic libraries that lack those volumes can use this one independently and effectively.
