05. Manuscripts and Typescripts of Books. 1930-1992.
Manuscripts, typescripts and galley proofs of books written or co-written by Linus
Pauling are the chief constituents of this section. Also included is correspondence
relevant to the evolution and printing of Pauling's thirteen published books. In many
instances, figures, artwork, research notes, publication contracts (both domestic
and foreign), internal and external reviews and other background materials provide
a fuller picture of the processes that informed each of Pauling's book projects. Special
Collections also retains among its holdings several editions of each of Pauling's
books, including numerous overseas translations. Finally, a great bulk of material
is included concerning the handful of books that Pauling initiated but did not complete
or publish.
