is principally a guide to secondary literature about Miller, though, unlike Hayashi, he provides brief synopses of and quotations from the books, essays, and articles cited. Finally, and most massively, is Stefani Koorey's 889-page book Arthur Miller's Life and Literature: An Annotated and Comprehensive Guide (Lanham, Md, and London: The Scarecrow Press, 20000. This work provides brief descriptions of the primary printed works of Miller (though without the bibliographic detail provided by Cran-dell), as well as annotated descriptions of secondary sources, a guide to manuscript locations, and descriptions of electronic media resources such as film adaptations, sound recordings, and Internet sites. For most students and researching critics of Miller's work, Koorey's work is probably the most useful of all the titles mentioned in this review and the most essential for an academic library to possess. However, Crandell's book is a fine complement to Koorey's book, due to its extensive bibliographic detail—especially of the illustrated " Separate Works " —and for its list of translations. For a collector of Miller's printed works, either private or institutional, Crandell's book is a wise and useful guide. A few small points of criticism may be made. Though for the most part Cran-dell's book is meticulous in its accuracy, a spot check of citations did find one error. In his entry for the appearance of Miller's story " Bees " in an issue of the Michigan Quarterly Review, Crandell transcribes its subtitle as " Story (to be spoken) " when it actually is " A Story to Be Spoken. " It would have been helpful within the main entries for A View from the Bridge to note that later versions of text had been greatly revised since its initial appearance as a one-act play intended to be staged with the one act A Memory of Two Mondays. Likewise, in the translations section, one does not know which version of A View from the Bridge has been translated. Finally, though one can well understand that this work is not intended to be a catalogue of the many stage productions of Miller's works, the notation of important film and television adaptations of works written for the stage would have been appreciated , and quite appropriate for an artist with such ties to the film world. Physically, Arthur Miller: A Descriptive Bibliography is a handsome production, with fine paper, generous margins, and spacious placing of type, making it …
