An entire year of Current Biography–in one
convenient clothbound volume!
Each year in December, the monthly issues of Current
Biography are updated and arranged alphabetically in a single hardcover
volume that contains the entire year’s biographies–about 220 in all.
The annual volume also includes a complete cumulation
of the year’s obituaries, a cumulated index for articles and obituaries
published in the current decade, and a classification of the subjects of
articles by their professions. A sturdy library binding and acid-free paper
make this investment last.
