John Dewey's Personal and Professional Library:  A Checklist Editor:  Jo Ann Boydston Publication Date:  1982 Publisher:  SIU Press Links:  Amazon Synopsis:  A bibliographic index of John Dewey's personal library which he used during his lifetime.  In addition to the books signed or annotated by Dewey – well over a hundred have marginalia – or inscribed to him, a number of books with the names of other family members have been included in this checklist because evidence exists that Dewey also used them; others have been included because they were available to him for possible use. Only school textbooks have been excluded.  The checklist is divided into two basic sections: works in English and works in other languages; entries in both sections are annotated to indicate Dewey’s notes, marginalia, inscriptions, and similar information. Beyond its use as a research tool, both in editing the Collected Works and in verifying Dewey’s references, this checklist of Dewey’s library provides interesting, often important, insights into his life and work.
