I was astonished and amazed by the excellence and completeness of your information about me, both the quoted reviews and your own 'Sidelights' interview. I had no idea such an archive existed.  --  Shana Alexander, author and journalist

I am struck by the tremendous amount of work and energy spent on writing my literary biography. I learned about the existence of many reviews of my work and articles which had escaped my attention.  -- Czeslaw Milosz, poet/novelist

Gale Research books are always carefully and intelligently edited, and I am sure that the next of Contemporary Authors will be no exception.  -- Thomas Berger, author
