| From 1942 through 1981, The Thoreau Society from time to time issued "booklets." These publications were sent to Society members and included a number of primary source tidbits. In all, 31 Thoreau Society Booklets were produced. (Some were not exactly in booklet form.) These items are a bit difficult to find today, and the Society no longer has extra copies for sale.
Copies of each of the 31 booklets are on file with the Thoreau Society collections at the Thoreau Institute in Lincoln, Massachusetts, as well as the William Munroe Special Collections room of the Concord Free Public Library. Listed below are links to help users find these booklets in libraries near them; however, not every library in the nation or the world is included in the WorldCat database accessed here. We offer this information to enable scholars and afficionadoes to locate the material.
