A new, revised edition ...
Basic Texas Books
An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works
for a Research Library
John H. Jenkins
This revised edition of Jenkins's indispensable bibliography
is the result of fourteen years of research into four centuries
of publishing on Texas, from Cabeza de Vaca's Relaci6n of
1542 to David Weber's Mexican Frontier, 1821-1846 of 1982.
Out of the more than 100,000 books published on Texas,
Jenkins has selected 224 books that he considers essential for
any Texas library. The entry on each book provides a substan-
tial critical essay, along with full bibliographical details on
every printing and issue, the story of how and why the book
was written, a detailed description of its contents, and a list of
significant related books. An additional 1,017 Texas books are
discussed and appraised, and an annotated guide to 217 Texas
bibliographies is included. This newly revised edition of the
out-of-print original, with more than 100 corrections and ad-
ditions, is now available at a new low price.
Jenkins's years of labor and
wide knowledge of books, William
R. Holman's layout and design,
and the careful editing and proof-
reading make Basic Texas Books a
valuable and essential tool for li-
brarians, historians, book dealers,
and Texana collectors .... I can-
not imagine a book collector, or
any Texas scholar, without a copy.
Actually, the audience for Basic
Texas Books will include anyone in-
terested in Texas."
