What books don\'t you want to see?

[D B Campbell]

Any book on a specialist topic without a decent set of footnotes and a comprehensive bibliography - preferably dominated by primary sources not other books from the same author - particularly if they are claiming to have something new to say.

Hmmm ... I've read so many books recently that are simply padded with unnecessary footnotes (of the "look how well-read I am" variety) and bulked out with pages of equally unnecessary bibliography (of the same variety) ... :roll: (Of course, I wouldn't dream of naming names.)
