Authors Shannon Hengen and Ashley Thomson have assembled a reference guide that covers all of the works written by the acclaimed Canadian author Margaret Atwood since 1988, including her novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and the 2000 Booker Prize winner, The Blind Assassin. Rather than just including Atwood's books, this guide includes all of Atwood's works, including articles, short stories, letters, and individual poetry. Adaptations of Atwood's works are also included, as are some of her more public quotations. Secondary entries (i.e. interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews) are first sorted by type, and then arranged alphabetically by author, to allow greater ease of navigation.

The individual chapters are organized chronologically, with each subdivided into seven categories: Atwood's Works, Adaptations, Quotations, Interviews, Scholarly Resources, Reviews of Atwood's Works, and Reviews of Adaptations of Atwood's Works. The book also includes a chapter entitled "Atwood on the Web," as well as extensive author and subject indexes.

This new bibliography significantly enhances access to Atwood material, a feature that will be welcomed by university, public, and school librarians. Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide 1988-2005 will appeal not only to Atwood scholars, but to students and fans of one of Canada's greatest writers.

Industry Reviews
This is a meticulous 360-degree treatment; one wishes all reference books would be this scrupulous. Highly recommended.... * Library Journal, 9/1/2007 *
This work is useful... * American Reference Books Annual, March 2008 *
Hengen (English, Laurentian U., Canada) and Thomson, a librarian at Laurentian U., provide a bibliography of Margaret Atwood's works from 1988 to 2005 and writings about them by others, including books, articles, short stories, letters, and poetry, as well as adaptations and quotations, organized chronologically by year. Secondary entries such as interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews are organized by type and then alphabetically. Many of the entries are annotated. Both subject and author indexes are included. A guide to selected sources on the internet is provided by Alain Lamothe, electronic reference librarian at Laurentian U. The book, which continues where Judith McCombs and Carole L. Palmer's Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide (1991) left off, is intended for scholars and fans of the author. It grew out of the annual checklists prepared for the Margaret Atwood Society, which is authored by Hengen and Thomson. * Reference and Research Book News, August 2007 *
