In 1964, the author's book, Mightier Than the Sword: Biography of Graciano Lopez Jaena, came out. It was printed in Bacolod City with the financial assistance of an ardent admirer of the hero, Vice Mayor Benigno G. Hinolan of Murcia, Negros Occidental. The second edition of the book was published by the Graciano Lopez Jaena Foundation in 1988, and the third edition in 2002.
A recent survey in the internet showed that copies of the book are held by twenty-eight (28) major libraries in nine foreign countries. In the Philippines, thirty-five (35) libraries hold the book. The 35 libraries are spread from the Dagupan City Library in the North to Ateneo de Zamboanga University Library in the South.
As seen in the title, this new volume includes a Brief Biography of Lopez Jaena and an Annotated Bibliography. The Bibliography is divided into two parts. Part I comprises the works of Lopez Jaena and Part II consists of writings about him.
The Annotated Bibliography is, by no means, complete. Yet, we are happy to note that Part I includes 87 entries of books, pamphlets, speeches, articles, and letters. Part II lists a total of 206 titles, broken down as follows: 61 books, 134 essays, articles and poems, eight unpublished materials, and three archival materials. We were also pleased to learn that over the years, at least 120 persons have written about Lopez Jaena, the national hero from the Visayas.
