Handbook of the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States by William A. Kretzschmar Jr. (Editor)
This book does not contain much linguistic data per se, but it is an extremely useful work for those who make frequent use of the Linguistic Atlas records. Much of the book is taken up in community and informant sketches: each and every locality surveyed is listed, along with a sketch of its settlement history. A short paragraph is devoted to each LAMSAS informant: occupation, age, family history, and various other notes. Other features of this work include notations on the fieldworkers' transcriptional peculiarities, and maps showing the locations of each informant. Not recommended for those with merely a casual interest because of its technical nature, but indispensable for those delving into the intricacies of the LAMSAS data.
