Titles were obtained from colleagues, selective and non-selective bibliographic: sources, and browsing and searching card catalogs of seven different libraries. Not included were opera librettos, short story collections, or illustrated songs. Each book was read and analyzed by the researcher. Twenty-three percent of the books showed at least some negativity; forty-eight percent had at lea.st one female main or musical supporting c:hara.c:ter, forty-six percent rated "questionable" or "fantasy" c:onc:erning accuracy of musical fact, and twenty-three percent dealt primarily with the string instrument family.
