I have used a lot of different genealogy reference books at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and this is the one that I chose to purchase for my home library. The entries are concise yet complete, giving clear direction on how to use sources and where to go for more help. Take note -- though the title seems all-encompassing, this book deals only with British genealogy.
