{"value"=>"<p>(published books in italics with publication date in parentheses).</p> <p>This subseries comprises material relating to the books, published and unpublished, of which Halpern was author, co-author, or editor. It includes proposals, tables of contents, notes, typescripts, galleys, publicity material, reviews, research material, and royalty statements. Material for anthologies he edited includes permissions and author information sheets. (See especially <span class=\"title\">The Art of the Tale</span> (Box 284), for which Halpern sent out a questionnaire to contributors.) This subseries also includes a version of <span class=\"title\">Traveling on Credit</span> submitted as a thesis for the M. F. A. degree at Columbia.</p> <p>Some of the unpublished poetry collections may be earlier versions of eventually published collections. In some cases, groups of early versions of poems are kept with the collection in which they were published; however, the poetry manuscripts in the Other Writings subseries include drafts of much of Halpern's poetry and is not sorted by collection: to track down all versions of a given poem, it will always be necessary to sift through the drafts in the Other Writings subseries.</p>"}
