'When the review editor asked me whether I was interested in examining two volumes of edited articles with a total of around 1,500 pages my heart sank - another doorstop was on its way. Happily I can report to readers that these two volumes would be a worthwhile investment for anyone interested in the field of public administration and public policy. They provide a "one-stop shop" of all the major journal articles including some of the seminal pieces, in this area. . . Overall, these volumes make an excellent addition to any collection on public administration. The collection is comprehensive, the selection appropriate and the historical breadth wide. . . Put an order in now. You could do far worse, but you will rarely do much better than having these volumes in easy reach.'
