{"value"=>"<p>This sub-series consists of manuscripts, illustrations and other materials. Three major book projects can be identified. The first was a work entitled <span class=\"title\">Dance Yourself Slim</span>. Although the title is listed in a publisher's catalog and a dust jacket created, there is no correspondence or any other material relating to this book. Judging from its description, the contents may have been very similar to the work later published as <span class=\"title\">Feel Fine, Look Lovely</span>. The second work was a monograph on the classical Chinese theater that Delza began mentioning in the late 1950s. Hill and Wang rejected the proposal in 1959. Delza subsequently published articles on many of the topics listed in her outline for the book, but she appears to have shifted her focus to preparing a book on tai chi following this rejection. Another known title is a book on Kung Fu with a young audience in mind. Also included in this sub-series are shorter manuscripts, identifiable mainly by some sort of title that was affixed to the item or its original container. These pieces may have been written as articles intended for publication, as chapters of books, or served as the text for lectures given by Delza. Some of this material may in fact have been published, but no published version of the work is present in the collection with which to compare the items. When no title was indicated clearly on the piece or container, one has been supplied.</p>"}
