Periodicals Index Online
Excellent source for book reviews, especially for older material. The trick
is to enter both the author's last name and one or two keywords from the title
in the Article Title Keyword field using the NEAR operator. (The Author field
reflects the author of the REVIEW, not of the book, and the author's name may
appear before or after the title of the work in the article title statement.)
Searching for reviews of J-B Duroselle's book, La Decadence, translates into
the search "duroselle near decadence", for instance. Then limit the search
to Book Reviews Only, and to a time period, too, if necessary. Since the Author
field reflects the author of the review, you can also search for reviews by
specific reviewers. (Annotation by SKL)
