Abstract:

The value of county bibliographies is examined with a focus on a Mecklenburg County bibliography. The author identifies four logical bases for the creation of a county bibliography - a chronological list of all local imprints, a list of books by or about a given county's native born inhabitants, a complete record of writings by county inhabitants, and writings whose subject matter relates to the cities and county.
