(Hemingway, Ernest) Grissom, C. Edgar ERNEST HEMINGWAY: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket, with DVD 644 pages, plus 112 on DVD
Edgar Grissom's Ernest Hemingway: A Descriptive Bibliography can succinctly be described as the culmination of all previous endeavors in Hemingway bibliography. Grissom corrects the work of previous bibliographers, adding numerous editions and printings to the periods they covered and addressing the years 1975-2009, which had previously been left untouched. This is the only bibliography of Hemingway to classify edition, printing, issue, and state, and provide a classical bibliographical description. It is the only text that provides and describes every printing of every edition, as well as a comprehensive list of the parent editions of the primary works. Additionally, the text supplies the locations of those copies described. Grissom questions and corrects established Hemingway misconceptions, with references to support all of his claims. All continental editions are recognized: Albatross Continental Library, Continental Book Company, Zephyr Books, and Tauchnitz volumes, and Grissom treats with equal bibliographical importance the foreign, American, and English printings, providing full bibliographical descriptions of each.

The book includes a number of useful appendices: Grissom has created sections with reviews and epigraphs containing material by Hemingway, interviews with Hemingway, as well as lists of plays, television productions, and films adapted from Hemingway's works. An informative introduction describes key terms and abbreviations used throughout.

The bibliography is generously illustrated with title pages and copyright pages throughout the text. Accompanying the printed volume is a DVD-ROM with more than 2,000 color illustrations, including more than 50 images of Hemingway's signature from 1908 to 1960. These include dust jackets, covers, and spines, allowing for accurate comparison and identification of nearly all of Hemingway's work. The DVD-ROM also includes more than 112 pages of additional text. Ernest Hemingway: A Descriptive Bibliography is sure to be the definitive resource for Hemingway collectors, scholars, and libraries for many years to come.

Dr. C. Edgar Grissom is a retired physician living with his wife and their five rescued cats on a lake in the piney woods of southern Mississippi. Maintaining a lifelong interest in Ernest Hemingway, Dr. Grissom has collected for over forty years and has devoted the last twelve years to researching and writing this bibliography. His primary interest remains the bibliographical scholarship of materials pertinent to the development of standard editions. He is presently engaged in collating editions of Hemingway's primary works from the period 1923-1952.

Pirie, James W. WILLIAM STAFFORD: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2013 6 x 9 inches hardcover with dust jacket 544 pages
William Stafford (1914-1993) was one of the most prolific and important American poets of the last half of the twentieth century. Among his many awards, Stafford served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, and received the National Book Award in 1963 for his poetry collection Traveling through the Dark. During his lifetime, Stafford wrote over sixty books of poetry that still resonate with a wide range of readers. Stafford's perspectives on peace, the environment, and education serve as some of the most articulate dialogues by a modern American writer.

As the well-respected Director of Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, from 1966 to 1982, Pirie worked closely with his friend and colleague William Stafford to maintain an accurate bibliographic record of Staffords numerous publications. Following James Piries death in 2002, the Lewis & Clark College Special Collections staff expanded and updated Pirie's bibliography for this volume, the only comprehensive bibliography of William Stafford's writings.

(Updike, John) De Bellis, Jack & Michael Broomfield JOHN UPDIKE: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MATERIALS, 1948-2007
With "Foreword to my own Bibliography" by John Updike and a CD Supplement New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2007 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 624 pages (plus 359 pages on CD-ROM)
First Edition. John Updike is internationally renowned for his novels, short stories, poems, essays and criticism. He has won two Pulitzers, the National Book Award, the American Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and many other prizes. Updike has written a "Foreword to My Own Bibliography" especially for this book.
This definitive guide to materials by and about this prolific American author consists of a printed first volume and a second volume on CD (a first for Oak Knoll Press). The A and B sections of Volume I, concerning separately printed works by Updike and books to which he has contributed, are superb examples of descriptive bibliography. The printed volume also features over 500 grayscale images of book covers, jackets, broadsides, and many seldom seen items. It includes comprehensive listings of Updike's short fiction, poems, articles, essays, and reviews, as well as extensive documentation of letters, speeches, dramatic works, manuscripts, interviews, and blurbs. Volume II contains entries for material about Updike and his work (reviews, commentary, and theses), several appendices (media appearances, work read by others, works in translation, exhibits and catalogs), and full-color versions of images appearing in the printed volume. John Updike: a Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials, 1948-2007 provides an indispensable guide to Updike's work and commentary about it.
Jack De Bellis, professor emeritus of English (Lehigh University), has authored The John Updike Encyclopedia (2000) and John Updike: Critical Responses to the "Rabbit" Saga (2004), as well as several essays and reviews concerning Updike's novels. This bibliography greatly expands his 1994 compilation for Greenwood Press. De Bellis has also published two books on the poet Sidney Lanier, and articles on writers ranging from Shakespeare to Ken Kesey, and from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Truman Capote. His first published work, on Andrew Lytle, was a bibliography. De Bellis was a Fulbright scholar to the University of Toulouse in France. He lives with his wife in Allentown, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia where he was born.
Michael Broomfield, a corporate lawyer by profession, has become, over the past 40 years, a preeminent collector of first editions and other materials by a number of American writers, including Raymond Carver, E.E. Cummings, William Faulkner, Joseph Heller, Robinson Jeffers and many living authors. Collecting work in many forms, Broomfield displays remarkable attention to detail and an acute understanding of the complexities of editions. He has what is probably the most extensive private collection of John Updike materials. This bibliography is Broomfield's first book. He lives in New York City with his wife and their daughter.
