Hi stressmathers,
Briefly, a bibliography is a list of works on a given subject or by a
given author. A select bibliography is a partial list of interest. For
example, an author may have written twelve books and his bibliography
would include all twelve. However, perhaps you are writing an article
about clams, and so you would include a select bibliography of the
author's work which only pertain to clams (perhaps only seven of his
twelve books). Another example: perhaps you've made a select
bibliography on the subject of Halloween but it doesn't come close to
containing all of the books on the subject.
