Ten Must-Have Reference Books of 2008
      

As a book reviewer for several publications, I see piles of books of all kinds every year.

In the general category of reference books—books for the look-it-up-shelf, to steal a phrase from the great man of letters Gilbert Highet—here are ten published in the past year that I found room for in my own overstuffed shelves, which, since that act involves getting rid of other books to make space, is among the highest honors I can bestow.

Please add your own favorites to the list.
