Yeah. I remember going through it quite a few times several
years ago at a local library. While any ambitious
bibliographical/critical work of that scope is bound to
contain errors, I seem to recall A Catalogue of Crime having
some real honkers, and some of the opinions
(even if they are only opinions) really out to lunch. Though
to be fair, at this point, I can't recall any of them. Maybe
something like Hammett being a hack and a vulgarian? Anyway,
I know I stopped using it as a reference source. Then again,
who am I to talk about bloated, opinionated reference
sources?
