BAL

Bibliography of American Literature, compiled by Jacob Blanck, a scholarly and bibliographically exhaustive work in nine volumes describing the works of many American authors, mostly concentrated on authors who were active during the 19th Century. Booksellers also refer to it as Blanck, giving the mistaken impression that they were dear friends with the bibliographer, and that he often consulted them over the finer points.
