Prominent series offshoot editor instructed his authors to treat the "Select Bibliography" and the footnote references as equal in value, and to choose between representing an important work in one section or the other. Contributors supplied an initial 10,000 word ms. (in some cases, culled carefully from a 12,000 word draft). Then, this was further compressed to 8,000 words on the unexpected command of the editor -- including notes and bibliography!
The au.s complied by again paring away any footnote-select bibl. overlap. I recognized one particular historian of Baptists in India, therefore, severally, and two of his publications. The historian then wrote a very ill-natured book review of the compendium, calling attention to defects in the very same pages that directly showcased his work, and the only reason I can think of is . . . not being in the . . . Select Bibliography.
