Review Quotes:
"Joel Myerson's supplement to his 1993 descriptive bibliography of primary works is a valuable extension of the original book collector's delight, all the way down to details about recent sales and acquisitions or the latest count of first editions. Students of Walt Whitman and his works will need to consult it for any number of reasons, including its tantalizing updates about the many twists and turns in the production of Leaves of Grass and the prose."--Jerome Loving, author, Walt Whitman: The Song of Himself
