The revision presented here, with 642 titles in comparison with the 240 in the 1964 list, is indicative of the continuing "paperback revolution" and the wealth of educational materials being made available in this inexpensive form. The current list includes titles in the humanities and the social sciences, with a selection of dictionaries and specialized pub¬ lications issued by governmental and international agencies. A highly selective list of travel guides is also included (items 591-620). Juvenile literature and textbooks have been excluded. Entries are arranged alphabetically by author and numbered consecutively. Each entry includes, wherever possible, the following data: author, translator, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, pagination, and price. A brief descriptive comment follows each entry. Some of the evaluative comments have been taken from the Handbook of Latin American Studies ; they are indicated by the abbreviation HLAS with the volume and item number. The index pro¬ vides a key to the subjects of the works listed. Information on paperbacks in print or to be published in the near future was gleaned from a variety of sources including reports from publishers and from the R. R. Bowker Company's Paperbound Books in Print . The Library of Congress does not distribute or sell these publications. Current paperback books on Latin America are generally obtainable at newsstands and college bookstores. For the convenience of the user, a list of publishers and their addresses is included.
