Bibliography << `bihb` lee OG ruh fee >> is a list of books or articles about a subject. There is usually a bibliography at the end of a good nonfiction book. The bibliography refers the reader to other writings that give more information on the subject.
The term bibliography can also mean a list of books that is written by a particular author. This type of bibliography is frequently found in the front of books. The word bibliography in Greek means the writing, or copying, of books.
Another type of bibliography presents a systematic description of the books it lists. It tells what each book is about and how it is bound. If several editions have been printed, this fact is noted. Book collectors use such bibliographies to identify rare old books and determine their value.
