Established in 1977, the American Book Review is
"dedicated to reviewing books from independent, small, and university presses." This
collection of production material for the American Book Review, virtually
complete from vol. 9 (1987) through vol. 19 (1998), arrived at the Ransom Center in
1998,
together with the records of Fiction Collective 2 and the papers of Ronald Sukenick,
former
publisher of the Review.
The production material contains edited typescripts, editors' notes, and reviewers'
comment
sheets. There are no correspondence files. Published issues are provided for each

instances in which there is no production material present, only the published issue
is
provided and these entries are marked "issue only" in the following container list.
Separated Material
A complete set of issues for Vol. 1 through Vol. 17, no. 4 was transferred to the
HRC
Library.
