Hill and John Steinbeck, as well as his interest in Rockwell Kent. The Personal Correspondence and Papers series holds letters written between Goldstone and various friends and fellow book collectors. Correspondents include Nathan Bengis, J. Rives Childs, and others. Material relating to Edwin B. Hill includes letters and book lists that chronicle Goldstone's search for information on Hill. His correspondence with Carl Hertzog and Gertrude Muir was particularly productive. Material relating to John Steinbeck comprises includes a vast array of correspondents, demonstrating the lengths to which Goldstone went to complete his Steinbeck bibliography. Of particular note is his correspondence with the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. This batch of letters provides the three-way correspondence which took place between Goldstone, John Payne, and Warren Roberts as they worked out details of his bibliography. Other correspondents on this topic include Herman Abromson, Preston Beyer, Lee Hayman, and others. Correspondence with Preston Beyer and John Payne contains a quantity of draft material and book lists related to Goldstone's Steinbeck bibliography. Material relating to Rockwell Kent is composed of correspondence between Kent and Goldstone who admired each other's work, as well as letters between Goldstone and Dan Bourne Jones and various book collectors and sellers regarding Jones' bibliography of Kent's works.
