Essential Guide to Spanish Reading
Looking to address a need in the Spanish-language book market, America Reads Spanish is publishing the book Essential Guide to Spanish Reading, a work based on an exhaustive year-long selection process that compiles and provides information on 500 essential Spanish-language titles.
Librarians in charge of Latin American collections in public, academic and research libraries in the United States, in their capacity as experts, suggested works for the creation of a bibliographic Hispanic database. The works included fiction, poetry, theater, essays, reference works and children's literature.
Booksellers, writers, professors, editors and journalists also answered this call, and helped to significantly enrich the final results. In March 2007, the compilation of materials was closed with nearly one thousand suggested works. From those recommendations, 500 works, as originally foreseen, were selected for inclusion in the Essential Guide to Spanish Reading.
