A description of the Breen Encyclopedia by Kolbe-- very accurate

I was looking at the George Kolbe catalog from the first Bass library sale. I quickly flipped to the "Bowers" section to see which books Bass had by QDB. Immediately after Bowers was "Breen", and Breen's Encyclopedia was offered for sale. Kolbe described the Breen book with the following comment:

"A monumental work of inestimable value, if not always of complete reliability."
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day
--"Happy", by the Rolling Stones (1972)
