Eric Shoaf's book, Collecting William S. Burroughs in Print has been published by Ratishna Books. Collectors of Burroughs' works have cast about for years trying to find editions of his works, as well as his contributions to books and journals. The only bibliography of Burroughs' works was published in 1978 and covered the years 1953 - 1973. Shoaf's new book covers 1953 to the present. It also includes many items from the earlier period which were not included in the bibliography by Maynard & Miles. Eric hopes that collectors and book dealers will benefit from information about "what is out there" and will be able to build their own collections of Burrough's works more easily. He notes that often one needs to know what one is looking for in order to find it.
