|title=J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013
|rating=5
|genre=Reference
|summary=Just occasionally it's necessary to begin by saying what a book ''isn't'': ''J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013'' isn't the latest book ''by'' J K Rowling - she had no part in the writing of the book and doesn't profit from it financially. It isn't, actually, ''about'' J K Rowling other than indirectly. It ''is'' a book about her writings, bibliographic details of each edition of ALL her books, pamphlets, and contributions to published works. It is ''not'' a book for the reader who loved the [[J K Rowling's Harry Potter Books in Chronological Order|Harry Potter books]] and wishes that Rowling had written many more, but rather the definitive text about the books which will be consulted by scholars, book dealers and collectors, auction houses and researchers. The most obvious comparison for me is [[Stamps of the World 2013 by Stanley Gibbons|Stamps of the World by Stanley Gibbons]]. It is of that class.

|summary=Whatever you might think of the USA, you cannot deny that it is a country with fantastic natural surroundings from the mountains to the beaches to the vast cactus strewn deserts. This children’s book embraces this and takes the Dog Detectives and their new friends on a whistle-stop tour of the country which is a great way to introduce some facts to young readers.
