This is not really a bibliography, no, but is in actual fact a "List of Works Cited" in Lonely Island. What a List of Works Cited allows you, the reader, to do is to find any of any of the quotations that the author has used in his or her book. You can make sure, for example, that Toromiru (this author here of this great book Lonely Island) did indeed quote all the people correctly. You can also see for yourself the context of the quotations, to see if perhaps those writers might have meant one thing, yet Toromiru might have attributed to them a very different meaning, the way, perhaps, that Mr. Thor Heyerdahl sometimes has done. (Ha! That Mr. Thor Heyerdahl! Will this Toromiru never leave him be?) A List of Works Cited is very important to you, the reader, in order to keep authors honest, yes.
But, oh, your Toromiru has read many more books than just these few from which I have taken quotations. If you are interested in my island, go and read for yourself some of those many wonderful books, and look at the many photographs. Find out about all the undertakings of all the engineers who have come to our island to try to replicate the feats of our people in our history. A good place to start is the List of Works Cited, below; but do not stop there if you are very very hungry for knowledge. Consult the bibliographies of those books. I have been so lucky in having Mr. and Mrs. Jones in all their generosities. But in so many towns and cities around the world—I am told—there are libraries, and in these libraries can be a great many books. And even if your library in your vicinity does not have the book you want, your library often has a service where they will borrow the book for you from another library. This service, I am told by the Joneses, is called "Interlibrary Loan" and is, I believe, a miracle yet true.
