This collection includes published books from William Stafford's peronal library that were gifted to, sent to, bought by, and collected by Stafford. The date of items range from 1899-2006, but the bulk of material was published in the 1960s-1990s. Items may contain Stafford marginalia, author inscriptions, correspondence, autographs, and messages from family and friends. Books are arranged in alphabetical order by author's last name.
