Reference is the BISAC top-level subject category covering general reference works (dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, quotations, atlases, handbooks, and how-to guides) that do not fit a more specific subject heading. In the Writing King library this category gathers cross-subject reference titles useful to working writers, including style guides, quotation collections, vocabulary references, and pocket reference works in the QuickStudy and Wordsworth Reference lines.
