"This is now the definitive work on Confederate imprints. It behooves all of us to use every means possible to have this work on the shelves of every reference section, in every school and public library in the nation. The contribution to the knowledge of America's historical past is immeasurable." Civil War Book Exchange. "No matter how great the resources of one institution, Confederate Imprints shows the diaspora of the American printed record and how much we all must rely on such thorough bibliographies to guide our research." James Gilreath, Rare Book Division, Library of Congress. "Only once in a great while does a volume strike me with the clear thought: 'I wish I'd written that book myself.' Confederate Imprints hit me just so. I wish I'd done it myself, and as well." Robert K. Krick, Historian, Fredericksburg National Battlefield Park. With 142 illustrations.
