Gloria,
I don't know how comprehensive they are, but the L.A. Public library has
had some very nice bibliographies in the past.  Have y ou checked other
large public library systems, such as the New York Public Library or
Enoch Pratt in Baltimore.  Also, how about some of the library publishing
houses like Libraries Unilimted, Scarecrow, or MacFarlane?
