How does anyone know to which you refer? Are you saying that you want the bibliography itself to look like this? If so, then I'm with Rich: This isn't a very good idea. That's not how bibliographic citations are supposed to work. The bibliography is simply telling your reader where to find the various works you cite, the citations themselves being made by some kind of "key", like a number or abbreviation or author-date or whatever. The bibliography is not the place for your comments. If you put them there, then you get the same comment for every reference you make to the work in question.
The place to do this kind of thing is a footnote. So in the footnote you'd refer to the work and make your comments there, as appropriate to that particular citation. In any event, BibTeX isn't designed to allow this kind of thing. You could make it work, but it'd take a ton of programming. Richard Richard
