Since this version of Dreiser's Library of American Realism contains John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, the list was created sometime after 1937 when the novella was published. Of the books listed below, the ones with full publication information and an acquisition number are in the Dreiser Collection at the University of Pennsylvania. The acquisition numbers beginning with "49D-" or "58D-" are used by the library to identify the books, and these numbers indicate the year that the books arrived (1949 or 1958). The books that have only a publication date in parentheses are not in Dreiser's library, but there is evidence, as discussed above, that during his life, Dreiser owned books that were never shipped to the University of Pennsylvania.
