Thanks, pAlana, for a very informative review. Interested readers may also
recall a similar work on Andhra nAtaka raMgaM by the same author, published
sometime in early seventies, I think.
I share your pet peeve with regards to the organization of reference list.
Even amongst the so called 'theses' produced by various universities in
telugu, this reference section is organized so poorly. Also, telugu
(perhaps Indian) writers have no concept of 'Index'. Index is
indispensible, particularly for encyclopaedic works like this.
