Records of the Toothpaste/Coffee House Press, 1970-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/219720186

The records of the Toothpaste Press consist of subject files, correspondence, manuscripts, financial records, and other papers relating to the daily operations and literary output of this private press. The subject files include topics ranging from the Committee of Small Magazine Editors to poetry readings, and submissions and rejections to advertising. Some of the correspondents include: Allen Appel, John Batki, Harry Duncan, Darrell Gray, Anselm Hollo, Steve Levine, Dave Morice, Rochelle Ratner, John Sjoberg, Morty Sklar, Steve Toth, and Michael Irene Welch. The 2003 and subsequent addenda are broken into series. The first series is artwork. Where it is known, a note is inserted into the folder of the book to which the artwork belongs, referring the reader to this series.The second series is made of up of correspondence. Here are letters having to do with business affairs and with manuscripts for which we do not have the manuscript. The third sequence is financial, where are kept all things pertaining to the monetary matters of Coffee House Press. The fourth series is miscellaneous, into which was put anything that did not fit elsewhere, as well as query letters, "no to manuscript" letters, "no to sample" letters, and "yes to sample" letters. The fifth series is the oversize materials, where are kept the manuscripts too large to fit into regular boxes. The last series is the manuscripts, arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author. This series is broken into separate pages, with links to each page. Since the University receives an addition for Coffee House every few years, this collection will continue to grow.
