Reception

edit

Writing in 2005, David Stevenson observed that the series "belongs to a more leisured era" and noted that no volumes were ever published which deal with Austria, Italy and Soviet Russia. Nonetheless, he observed that "the formula has generated a number of classics, which have remained in print for decades."[2] A volume on Austria was, however, released in 2022.
