English term or phrase: The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art
This is the title of an introductory book to the history of art from a feminist perspective and I'm having trouble translating "Bedside Companion". For the moment, my provisional translation is:La historia del arte occidental en la mesita de noche de las Guerrilla Girls. Does anybody have a better solution?

Thanks!!

el libro de cabecera..


Explanation:
Como "pillow book". Se entiende que si es de cabecera es una obra que consultan con frecuencia, como un manual que guardan en la mesilla de noche ;o)
