GENREFLECTING: A GUIDE TO POPULAR READING INTERESTS, 6TH EDITION (GENREFLECTING ADVISORY SERIES) By Diana Tixier Herald **Mint Condition**.

About this product

Product Information

For the past 150 years America's public libraries have supplied billions of books to billions of people, and most of those books have been (and continue to be) popular fiction. This new edition of Genreflecting explains not only what library patrons are reading, but why. In the process, it casts reading in a new light that demonstrates how it functions as an essential information service that creates communities in culturally democratic ways. Focusing on what today's readers read, this classic guide introduces you to current genre fiction and popular reading tastes. By defining genres, describing their features and characteristics, and grouping titles by genre, subgenre, and theme, the book helps those who work with readers to understand distinct patterns in reading habits and book selection; and it allows users to identify "read-alikes" and other titles their patrons will enjoy. Genreflecting has become a standard reference and readers' advisory tool for library practitioners and an insightful text for students of library and information science. Building upon previous editions, this new volume features informative essays on the essence, history, and latest trends of various genres, contributed by top scholars and genre experts and edited by Dr. Wayne Wiegand. New chapters on Christian fiction and emerging genres (women's fiction and "chick lit") have been added. In addition, more than 5,000 titles, approximately one-third new to this edition, are classified, focusing on titles published since the last edition along with perennial classics and benchmark titles. The popular feature "D's Picks" identifies new and noteworthy titles in each genre. Other features new to this edition includelists of selected "classic" authors and titles in each of the genres, sections on "genreblends" in those areas where they occur (e.g., horror/humor, mystery/romance), and three new essays. "The Social Nature of Reading" by Dr. Wiegand, "The Readers' Advisory Interview" by Dr. Catherine Ross, and "A Brief History of Readers' Advisory" by Melanie A. Kimball offer further insight into the nature and importance of this field. A standard professional tool for readers' advisors and an invaluable collection development guide and text, this is a must-purchase for all libraries.
