Book prospectuses, jackets, and writing paper are kept together in items 1-4. The rest of the subseries consists of miscellaneous jobbing work including some pamphlets, and a few books, arranged as far as possible by decade.
In items 5-8, a few pieces have labels affixed indicating that they were Curwen Press file copies. Most others are unmarked and are probably from the personal collections of Oliver Simon, Herbert Simon, and others. Items 9-10 are mostly file copies with annotations like the items in subseries F2.
