The Amazing Screw-On Head
Nothing that will disappoint Mignola fans, but nothing to overly excite them either. Not recommended, except for serious Mignola completists.
PREMIUM
The Cold War on Film
It’s difficult to decide whom this volume is suited to. The history is accurate but very brief, while the film discussion is largely consumed by plot synopses. Not recommended.
PREMIUM
Turtlenecks
Christie has an engaging art style, reminiscent of Milton Glaser’s 1970s work. The satire may be too affectionate for this book to get a wide following. However, given the youth and melodramatic earnestness of the characters, which is treated with a kind humor, this may be a good choice for YA readers for whom neither American superheroes nor the spectrum of manga art styles hold any appeal.
PREMIUM
Documents of the Harlem Renaissance
Providing primary sources alongside ample thoughtful information to help with interpretation, this volume will be useful to a wide range of researchers, from high school students to undergraduates to general readers.
PREMIUM
Robotech Archives: The Masters Vol. 1
As Baron says in his introduction, the basic story is “a theme as old as fiction”--unfortunately, this means there’s a lot of competition. Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game and Hideaki Anno’s Neon Genesis Evangelion tell the story better. Not recommended, except for serious Robotech fans.
PREMIUM
African American Culture: An Encyclopedia of People, Traditions, and Customs
Covering subjects that are frequently mentioned in contemporary discourse but not always fully explained (see, for instance, the informative entry on historically Black colleges and universities), this is a valuable resource for a wide range of readers.
PREMIUM
African American Literature: An Encyclopedia for Students
Overall, a useful option for its target audience: students. The entries will be accessible to high schoolers, and possibly younger students, as well as college-level readers, who will learn much from the coverage of varied genres, from mystery, romance, and horror, influenced by African American writers.
