A biassed account of biasses in QSO surveys.
Abstract
This paper comments on some of the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques used to search over very large areas for bright QSOs with z > 2. Particular reference is made to very high redshift surveys at z > 3.3. and a brief description is given of some of the background to this work.
