Every room of Jeannette's house, including the hallways, has at least one full wall, sometimes more, of solid books. Her dining room is dedicated to all the books that she edited and/or published. Jeff and I spent a couple hours typing titles, authors and inscriptions this evening, but we only completed the top shelf (of 5 shelves total). Here's the list so far, title followed by author. We will try to complete this list of all Jeannette's books before this entire wall of books is sent to Vassar College where she has already sent her personal papers and many important manuscripts.

Acknowledgements:
“This is the second book to be edited by Jeannette Hopkins. In the first, I did not know how to thank her properly.

I will only add I cannot imagine a better editor. Joseph W. Reed”
