Life at the Reference/Adult Services Desk can get hectic. And sometimes we just need a little help finding the right answers. When it comes to answering: "Can you tell me if this is the first book in the series?" Or "What else has this author written?" Fantastic Fiction is one of my go-to resources. With listings for over 30,000 authors and 350,000 books and counting, if it's in the library catalog, it's probably in here, too.
Search by author to find a list of everything they've published listed in series order. It's easy to print out a list for a fan. Search by book title and click on the link for a synopsis and Amazon purchasing info (of course). At the bottom of an author page there may be recommendations from the author and you'll find a list of "people who searched for this author also searched for ..." a great way to find readalikes for that "Oh, I've read all of those" patron.
You can also browse authors alphabetically or by genre or search for new listings in hardback, paperback, audio, or Kindle.
