In his Good Books: A Book Lover's Companion (1982) Steven Gilbar asks "What do I mean by good? Not morally good, and not academically good, and not simply popular, although the book I recommend may have one or all of those qualities. 'Rewarding and pleasurable' - those terms I think characterize the books I am recommending." The titles he lists under Politics are grouped in sub-categories and are then ordered alphabetically by the author's last name. His book contains a brief description of each title.
