Subject: Re: Geography  books (fwd)

 "geography--bibliography" and "academic libraries--book lists"
seem to be the appropriate subject headings. Below
are 3 I know about - am sure other persons will know
about more current ones.

Books for college libraries : a core collection of 50,000 titles.  3rd ed.
   Chicago : American Library Association, 1988.

 Choice's outstanding academic books, 1992-1997 : reviews of scholarly titles
   that every library should own / edited by Rebecca Ann Bartlett.  Chicago :
   Association of College and Research Libraries, 1998.

Geographical bibliography for American libraries / edited by Chauncy D.
   Harris ... [et al.] ; with assistance from Susan Fifer Canby, Phillip J.
   Parent, Steven S. Stettes.  Washington, D.C. : Association of American
   Geographers, 1985.
