Bibliography - Introduction
of John Holmes' Published Works
The material contained in the following pages has been brought together from two bibliographies of Holmes' work. Alan Seaburg compiled a bibliography of Holmes' writings which appeared in the Bulletin of the New York Public Library (v. 11, no. 5) in 1967. A subsequent bibliography was prepared by Gabor Erdelyi and Mary A. Glavin which incorporated additional published materials as well as the unpublished materials contained in the Holmes collection at Tufts.
For ease of use, the contents of both bibliographies dealing with Holmes' published works have been combined and organized into sections, listed in the navigation bar on the left-hand side of this page. However, two important caveats apply. Firstly, this bibliography does not have a direct relationship to the records on the Holmes collection contained in the collections database, and thus does not perform the role of a finding aid for the collection. Secondly, while some errors in the content of the of the bibliographies have been corrected, no systematic effort was made to check the bibliographies against reference sources to remove incorrect information.
While there is no special search utility to search these bibliography pages, it is possible to use the browser's "Find in Page" command to perform a word search on individual pages.
