The Silver Stallion

Changes and Additions to James Hall's Bibliography:
Part I - Works by James Branch Cabell

lol bindingsAs we have said before, this website and our on-line bibliographies wouldn't exist without James Hall and his 1974 James Branch Cabell: A Complete Bibliography. Part of our mission is to help keep Hall's work current by adding to it as new editions are published, and by additions and corrections to Hall's efforts when we find them. The list below summarizes the changes and additions that The Silver Stallion has made to works by Mr. Cabell listed in A Complete Bibliography.

For changes and additions we've made to listings by other authors, see Part II - Changes and Additions to Works Relating to James Branch Cabell.
