"From Antigua to Trinidad, this specialized catalog focuses on nearly 700 colonial British Caribbean newspapers published from the 1700s to the present, and will appeal to scholars and students of Caribbean journalism and newspaper history. Entries are organized by colony or country, then chronologically by date of first issue. A typical entry is spare: Pactor liste, when available, publishing dates, editors, circulation, historical notes, and holdings. This is an unattractive source, with unevenly spaced type and occasional grammatical and typographical errors. The mein drangback, however, is Pactor's breadth of research; he notes that "the findings reported here are the result of a Research Summer Grant provided by the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida." That, in itself is not a problem; it is an importart collection. However, had he examined, for example, other sources such as Newspapers in Microform (entries 538-539), he would have been able to include more comprehensive information." (Jo A.
