Abstract: Table of Contents'favourite' publications, even of whole topics.I hope that, in spite of these gaps, the choice will be of some use to the general reader.Due to space restrictions, almost all reference to individual articles, chapters or published papers has been excluded.Instead preference has been given throughout to whole books, and to volumes, collections or published proceedings in which there is a wealth of relevant contributions by different authors.Scholars whose work may seem to be missing or poorly represented will be found in these volumes.The first section contains a list of essential survey and companion books with a wide coverage of varieties, organized either by territory (e.g.Bailey and Görlach 1982), by variety (e.g.Trudgill and Hannah 1994 [1984]), by topics/issues (e.g.Kachru 1986Kachru [1990];]; Platt et al. 1984), or with an important component devoted to varieties (e.g.Bailey 1992; Crystal 1995).The second section is organized by geographical areas listed alphabetically: Africa; Australasia and the Pacific; the British Isles; the Caribbean; North America; South Survey volumes / companions
