Number of Cartons
editRobert Shields total lifetime output is listed as taking up 81 cartons in this article. However, the article on hypergraphia lists his total output as 91 cartons. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.241.205 (talk)
- Well, there's a few different estimates. In the interview with Michael Feldman he says 81 boxes and counting,[1] the Sideswipe and Daily Mail articles said 91 boxes when it was handed over in 1999,[2][3] and the count of boxes listed at the WSU Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections catalog comes to 94 boxes.[4] I've gone with the WSU count, as it's a primary and up-to-date source. - Gobeirne 04:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
