Conrad, Pam. "The Last Book." Horn Book (May/June 1992): 309310. In this brief article, Conrad explores the notion of a primitive people who believe in two deaths: when a person's body dies and when all people who knew that person die. This brings her to wonder about an author and what happens when her last book is no longer readable. Her musings are interesting, giving insight into Conrad as a person rather than into her works.

Review. Horn Book Magazine (May/June 1991): 345-346. This review gives a brief synopsis of Conrad's book. The reviewer calls it a well-designed, narrated album that makes imaginative use of source materials to convey real setting and character.
