View source for Norman Mailer: Works and Days/Bibliography/First Editions

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="font-size:22px;">{{BASEPAGENAME}}/</span>{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}
{{Bib|This=2}}
Most of these first editions also include bibliographies of reviews and essays. Many of the following contain a bibliography of reviews and/or critical articles. 
{{WDside|expanded=bibliographies}}
The reviews were chosen because of:
# representative quality;
# intrinsic interest;
# reviewer's reputation and/or relationship with [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]]; or
# subsequent comment by Mailer. 

Obviously, some reviews meet more than one criteria. The essays, which focus almost exclusively on one book and were written years or decades later, were chosen for their cogency and contextual merits. Each are divided according to work. Abbreviations that were not included in {{harvtxt|Lennon|2008a|}} or {{harvtxt|Adams|1974|}} are new to this project; these abbreviations will be used throughout.
