This post contains the lists that I made of many Whitman books. I grouped these books under a few headings as I worked towards making sense of the types of books published by Whitman. The books listed here are primarily from the 2300 set, but some books are from years later. These are not complete lists. I avoided italics so that the titles are easier to read.

Thank you so much for listing these books. I am currently writing about the Whitman Authorized series, and it is sometimes hard to determine whether a title is part of the series or not.
Anna L. Nielsen's PhD-thesis is a great read and source of information!
As far as I can make out, "Nancy Craig and the Fire Opal of Guatemala" is not a part of the Whitman Authorized edition, but I am not entirely sure.
Have a nice weekend. Best, Erika
