I expect this book will be a strong catalyst for lexicographers of every stripe. It presents contemporary research, summarized for review at a readable scale, with the happy outcome that both specialists and new researchers may reach a clearly contextualized understanding of the trajectories of sub-fields other than their own.

Jackson’s Companion provides a current, comprehensive and highly accessible overview of the multi-faceted field of lexicography. Assuming little specialist knowledge, the book systematically sets out the key issues of the discipline to both students (its primary target audience) and experts. The topics of the 20 chapters have been well-chosen and the contributions carefully edited. I strongly recommend the Companion to everyone with an interest in lexicography!
