I found this book to be very useful for my booktalk. The annotated bibliographies are very detailed. The list of Christian publishers and authors are current. The only problem I had with the book was that not enough libraries in SC carry this book. I had to go through Interlibrary Loan in order to get a copy; $55 was a bit too high to pay. I especially find this disturbing because Barbara Walker lives in Aiken, South Carolina and works at the Nancy Carson Library in North Augusta, SC.
