Knopf, Inc.--Index of Correspondents (V-Z) The index contains box and folder number references to correspondence with individuals and firms. In some cases, the numbers refer to files about an author, and do not contain correspondence with the author. These entries are marked with an [S], for subject, just after the author's name. Each box and folder number following an [S] entry will only contain correspondence about the subject. Entries labeled [O] contain only outgoing letters to the individual or firm. Each number following an [O] entry will refer only to outgoing correspondence. For entries not marked with either an [S] or an [O], box and folder citations will refer to a mixture of correspondence to, from, and occasionally about the individual or firm. When an individual box and folder number is followed by (C), it means that specific citation refers only to a cross-reference. Corporate names sort before personal names. [O] = Outgoing correspondence only [S] = Correspondence about the person only (C) = Folder contains only cross-reference to other folder V V/O Medjdunarodnaja Kniga [O] -- 400.10 VR Advertising Inc. -- 773.2 V.
