Much preferred and definitely emphasizes the importance and accuracy of historical info in the books. Review: 10 stars for scholarship; zero for organization - For the outstanding scholarship I award 10 stars! For the organization of this and the second volume I award zero stars. It's just awful. In this first volume Morrison covers all six volumes of Lymond and the first four volumes of the House of Niccolo in alphabetical order. I prefer Laura Caine Ramsey's page by page organization which is much easier to use. But then Morrison makes it worse. Morrison wrote a second volume which covers all 6 volumes of Lymond and all 8 volumes of Niccolo, again in alphabetical order. So when you are reading Lymond or any of the first 4 volumes of Niccolo and you go to look something up in Morrison's first volume and it is not there, then you have to stop and look the same thing up again in Volume II of Morrison. The organization couldn't be much worse. You totally lose the flow of the novels as you go back and forth between volumes. And frequently what you are looking up isn't there anyway. e.g., many French and Spanish references are translated and explained; many are omitted all together. It is as tho Morrison and her publisher were in such a rush to get into print, they published volume one before Morrison had finished writing volume one. If only Morrison had put all of Lymond into one volume and all of Niccolo into a second volume. But the fact remains, the scholarship is outstanding. Morrison has added so much to my understanding of Dunnett's masterpiece. (I refer to Lymond and Niccolo as one masterpiece because Dunnett referred to them as one series.) It would be a shame to miss out on what Morrison will add to your understanding. I especially enjoyed the short biographies of non-fiction characters. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #394,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #133 in Renaissance Literary Criticism (Books) #351 in British & Irish Literary Criticism (Books) #2,419 in Historical British & Irish Literature | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (52) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 0.98 x 8 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0375725873 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0375725876 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | July 10, 2001 | | Publisher | Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group | ## Images ![The Dorothy Dunnett Companion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kRCoDGTcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Provides all the historical research for the books rather than ... *by E***S on August 6, 2016* Provides all the historical research for the books rather than using footnotes in the novels.
