 The Best Reference Books of the Year By Mahnaz Dar, Maggie Knapp, Patricia Lothrop, Dave Pugl, Laurie Selwyn, & Rob Tench Though reference works are generally thought to be purely informational, no book is free from its author’s point of view. Many of the titles this year demonstrate that reference can take a stand. |

| "The sacred space between the patron and the desk reference librarian...is as sacred as the relationship between doctor-patient and lawyer-client. I didn't understand that until I started doing the research." | | |

| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Hendrik Groen's On the Bright Side: The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 85 Years Old is this week's starred fiction selection. "While this work may appeal especially to older readers, it is so warm, touching, and funny that you don’t have to be a member of the Old but Not Dead club to enjoy it." In nonfiction, Anuradha Bhagwati's Unbecoming: A Memoir of Disobedience recounts her enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps as the child of Indian immigrants and graduate of an Ivy League university. One of three starred titles this week, "This powerful and important book explores the search for personal fulfillment as well as opens a window into the experiences of women in the armed services." And this week's starred graphic novel is Christophe Chabouté's adaptation of Jack London's To Build a Fire, "perhaps one of the best glances 20th-century audiences have of the Klondike Gold Rush, when thousands of prospectors flocked to the frozen north of Canada in the mid- to late 1800s." This English translation of the French graphic novel "would pair well with the actual prose story, giving visual depth to London’s spare and gripping writing."
