Summary

Books listed below are in the Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf (LLVW), Manuscripts Archives and Special Collections (MASC), Holland/Terrell Libraries, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, unless otherwise noted with the abbreviations below:

F1 or F2 – Funke catalogue: Virginia & Leonard Woolf (F1); This Perpetual Fight (F2)

HRC – Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas, Austin, TX

PO – Private owner

S – Sotheby's sale, 27 July 1970

# – Book purchased or received, as noted in L1 or PA, but not in LLVW1

Proof that books located in the Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf belonged to Virginia Stephen include an inscription to or by her, a monogram, a bookplate, a date or other clear identification marks. Books in the LLVW listed below have such evidence except those marked with these symbols:

* Almost surely a VS book; convincing contextual reasons, but no proof

+ Possibly a VS book; contextual reasons exist, but not entirely convincing

Not listed here are books inherited from Stephen's parents, Thoby and so forth. In other words, Virginia Stephen's Library, as I have constructed it here, does not include all the books that would have filled those boxes in 46 Gordon Square. Books published in 1912 or before with a ‘VW – binder’ designation but no other corroborating journal or letter evidence have also not been included because although AVS certainly bound many books, so did VW, making it impossible to determine when a book was bound. See, for example, George Gissing's The Nether World, published in 1907 (K&M-V 86).

Brackets at end of entries provide either source or source page numbers for ownership information. Endnotes describe exceptions or add information.
