The Everything Book of Cats and Kittens by D.K. Publishing

Some important names which appear from this division include: Paul Sampson, Chairman of Garden Way Associates Bill Prophet, Executive Vice President Jess Clarke, Vice President, Marketing John Davies, Vice President, Public Relations and from Garden Way Manufacturing in Troy, NY, Ed Scofield, Vice President, Mail Order Marketing. In addition, this series includes some files on staff members from other Garden Way affiliates, particularly from Garden Way Associates in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Figuring prominently in this series are: Jack Williamson, Publisher Roger Griffith, Senior Editor Walter Hard Jr., Editor and Dick Raymond, Consultant. 'Personnel' is also an extended series, consisting largely of correspondence to and from a variety of Garden Way Publishing staff members and freelance editors, publicists, and consultants. 'Marketing,' 'Production,' and 'Sales' are all substantial and essential series, containing material pertaining to these various stages in the publishing process. The bulk of this material consists of orders to and invoices from other publishers whose books were advertised in the Garden Way Publishing Book Catalog.Ī little more than one carton full, 'Daily Sheets' is also an important series, as it contains records of the daily financial transactions of books sold at Garden Way Publishing for the entire year of 1977. The 'Catalog' series, for example, is fairly extensive (2.5 cartons), as it contains material concerning Garden Way Publishing's annual Book Catalog. Some of these subject series are comprised of only one folder, while others fill several cartons. A 'Table of Contents' quickly identifies all subject area included in the collection.

For the sake of simplicity and clarity, the collection is arranged alphabetically by subject, and then chronologically within each subject series. Thus the collection contains a little material on a variety of subjects. However, while the subject content of the collection is broad, the range of dates narrows the focus, spanning only one decade 1970-1980. The Garden Way Publishing Company Collection consists of twenty cartons of material dealing with all aspects of the Garden Way Publishing operation in Charlotte, Vermont.
