General bibliographies list books published in a specific area and/or about a specific area. They have no focus and aim instead for comprehensiveness. They can provide a picture of the bibliographic output of a particular place at a particular time, or give an idea of what has been written or created about a given country or region. For an official listing of all registered publications in a given country, please see National Bibliographies.
