Does no one remember Book review digest and/or Book review index?

I sometimes seem to be the last of a dying breed of RG fans even though the RG is not comprehensive.

To date I have had some success with the ProQuest Historical Newspapers database but unfortunately only have access to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times archives. In the Durant's autobiography they frequently mention literary critics who assessed their books as they came out, one about every six years during the period 1935 - 1975. What indexes, print or online, would anyone recommend to find some of these reviews or additionally articles by the authors published in newspapers or magazines during the period 1925 - 1985? I have extended the period to either side of the dates of the volumes within the series to catch any ancillary material. As an example, on September 11, 1963 John Barkham an author working for World-Telegram in New York wrote a review of the recently published "The Age of Louis XIV." Thank you one and all, Steve.
