1952-(with Bibliography Supplement: 1995-1996
and Recent Publications: 1996-)

Note: (a) A bibliography of current writing, with links to full text copies of all material from 1996 to the present, is available at the "Recent Publications" site. These items are not listed in this bibliography, which is limited to a bibliographic listing of materials from 1952 through 1995 (with a supplement listing publications from 1995-96, up to the beginning of the "Recent Publications" listing that starts in 1996).

(b) Thus, this bibliography covers primarily (though not exclusively) bibliographic listings only, and for the years 1952 through 1995/1996. This Web page, introduction, and links, relate to this bibliography only.

(c) Given the size of the total document (333 pages in hard copy), for the convenience of users of this electronic reproduction, it has here been broken down into 11 Web pages. The breaks are, for the most part, at logical groupings; however, they are primarily for purposes of making Web pages of manageable size.

(d) Page numbers and approximate file size (in kilobytes) have been indicated for Word Perfect for Windows 5.2 files; thus, although both may vary for the user, depending on format, the comparitive sizes may still be useful.

(e) This online edition is, in almost every particular, a faithful reproduction of the hard copy edition. As a result, however, some portions are of little use (such as the table of contents references to page numbers which do not exist online) or are dated (such as the resume contained in one of the appendices). Added notes are usually in [brackets] with a signature of "-NJ January 31, 1997". Other "notes" are from the hard copy edition.

(f) A hard copy edition is available for the cost of reproduction; send your request by way of any of Nicholas Johnson's coordinates.

(g) As the title indicates, this Bibliography covers material only through December 1995. Items for 1995-1996 are in Bibliography Supplement: 1996.

(h) Note that hard copy of numerous documents (almost all of which are not available online) are available through the University of Iowa Special Collections, for which there is an online index, and that links to full text copies of virtually all writing since the spring of 1996 are available from the "Recent Publications" page.
