{"value"=>"<p>The General Files include general correspondence; correspondence with related businesses, publishers, and philanthropic organizations, invitations, staff memos, clippings, anniversary books, poetry and poetry-related events. There is a good deal of correspondence about the closing of the store, support letters on Books & Co.'s behalf, written to Watson and to The Whitney Museum of Art, and clippings from local newspapers and magazines about the unfolding events and the store closing (see \"Books & Co. - Closing\" sub-series). Financial records include the list of names considered \"House Accounts\" (those who were able to receive a discount on purchases, which were labeled \"C2\" accounts by the store), some expense reports, income tax returns for five non-sequential years, customer invoices, operations statements and a few other odd files. The \"Readings\" sub-series includes introductory remarks, party plans, and other miscellaneous items for readings from 1980 to1997. Box 8, folder 8, titled \"Doodles,\" contains cartoon drawings of scenes from a bookstore, usually drawn on the backs of event invitations. They are probably the work of a talented employee who usually focused his or her attention on Peter Philbrook as a subject, though occasionally honored others.</p>"}
