Introducing this unique project in bibliography, former antiquarian bookseller Biscotti explains that he included descriptions of fiction and nonfiction works published before 2000 in English but (with a few exceptions) omitted works dealing with foxhunting using firearms, focusing instead on the sport of foxhunting with hounds and horses. Alphabetically arranged by author, the compilation identifies places of publication, publishers, dates of publication, size, and pagination and offers observations on illustrations followed by brief comments on dust wrappers, where appropriate. Annotations, largely of author biographies, extend to several paragraphs in places. Appended time lines deal with prominent foxhunters and authors, book illustrators, important foxhunting books, with another appendix listing British publishers' sporting series. An extensive, alphabetically arranged bibliography is followed by author, illustrator, and title indexes. Nicely produced in clear, computer-generated type and well bound, Biscotti's work will be useful in all libraries collecting works on Anglo-American customs, habits, manners, literature, and history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.
