Hi David--
Without clicking on the finding aid button, I can tell you that the listing for the UW library is incomplete--though I don't know how incomplete. The obvious missing volume is the 1596 FQ. I'll pass this on to the rare book room. I'll even try to get into the library and check your list myself.
Hope all's well with you--
John

Anne, and all,
There is a "contact us" button on most pages of the Finding Aid that will enable users to provide feedback to the keeper of the database. I will forward what you've provided below, Anne.
Thanks,
David

Hi, David--thanks for this. How do we make corrections? My 1596 Spenser(s) now repose, and I hope with he prospect of some hospital care for the embroidered binding, at the Folger Library. Lots of marginalia, as described in Spenser Studies vol. 23, and with those embroidered initials "E.T." that have inspired some Spielberg jokes from my friends. Anyway, thanks to the embroidery and the marginalia, the volumes are just fascinating (unlike my totally, utterly, absolutely boring 1611s) and now where they belong, in a real library. I'll check the entry for Columbia--that volume had a nice analysis, also in Spenser Studies 23, by Columbia's Tianu Hao, now of Peking University, where of course he is Hao Tianu. My marginalia, if I'm remembering correctly, from Columbia's volume is evidence that the reader got seriously confused by the names and pronouns at the start of Book II. I know the feeling. My, but you and the others are doing heroic work. Anne.

Friends,
As promised last week at the Spenser Society luncheon in Los Angeles, I am writing to post the url for a Finding Aid to early copies of Spenser's works:
http://spenserarchive.org/findingaid/
This is the first installment of the Spenser Archive that the editors of the Oxford Spenser have been constructing for the past few years. We hope that you will try out the Finding Aid and help us improve it, whether by suggesting design modifications, telling us about copies not yet included, or alerting us to errors that may linger in the database.
Please feel free to share this announcement on other lists. We will be especially grateful to those of you who may be willing to forward the url to library staff at your institutions with an invitation to check our entries against their holdings for accuracy and completeness.
Best wishes for the new year,
David
