Query: Dated but still useful

This work includes only the major authors in Canadian Literature, as well as a few other notables who contributed a significant volume or two to our national literature. The book was revised and reissued in 1978, the new edition consisting of 145 pages. A useful reference for those who happen to need some bibliographical info on a major Canadian author, but it is of course a quarter century old.
