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 of 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.
