BIBLIOGRAPHY - A Select Bibliography of Writings About Edward Whittemore

This biblography of reviews and articles on Edward Whittemore and his books was mostly compiled by Mike Simanoff, with a few contributions from myself. I have added many of them to the site and they are linked as such. Some can be viewed on other web sites, but a number of them are unavailable for viewing. I would be most appreciative if anyone out there has copies of the more obscure articles and reviews, and would be willing to contribute them to this site in either hard copy or by email.
