From a review: "Goff, as was Stillwell, is not only a list of locations, but an unequalled source of information, the best and handiest single work of reference for everyone concerned with 15th-century printing, from novices, scholars in other fields, or smaller booksellers, to the great dealers, the great collectors, or incunabulists in great libraries. Here, in one volume and one moment, we find standard forms for authors' and printers' names, correct titles and contents of books, reliable assignments of press and date, notices of other descriptions, and references to articles and monographs.".
