http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207171858

This collection consists of six account books which illuminate Spaulding's bookselling and other business activities. The octavo volumes contain subscription records for the Advocate, probably the American Advocate, printed weekly in Hallowell, and for advertising. They include the name, town, and notations concerning the status of the subscriber's account. They range from 1829 to 1831. There is a folio volume containing an inventory or listing of the store's contents, 1820, by its owner, Samuel Kinsman Gilman (1796-1882) and a record of its sale to Spaulding, in addition to records of daily book and stationery sales to 1830. The remaining three folio volumes consist of a store ledger for 1822 to 1832 which contains book sales and general merchandise transactions and two volumes of inventories of books on stock: 1823 and 1831-1834.
