But there are SO MANY to choose from. No worries. Welcome to the book recommendation page! Here we will explore Reference books geared toward writers seeking guidance. Big books. Small books. Some will be great and some will be eh! - But someone out there put a lot of effort into creating them for us, so the least we can do is take a gander and see what they are all about.

Every writer knows the struggle of finding just the right word, even more so if you have to be certain the word existed in the time period in which your story is set.
English Through the Ages by William Brohaugh is a reference book I highly recommend. Categorized by year and further broken down into subjects, it is easy to use and wonderfully informative. As a historical romance writer, this book is an invaluable resource.
