Abstract
Beats and friends is a bibliography of material held by the British Library. The compiler has examined all items apart from some Document Supply Centre titles, dissertations and printed music. The entries are mostly based on the Library's catalogues, although additional information may be noted based on examination. Some books were examined and given an entry before being catalogued by the Library.
Most items are given an entry only once. However, in some cases the complex nature of an item meant that further entries had to be given. These include entries for collaborative works, correspondence between authors who are each a subject of this bibliography, and books about more than one Beat author. Books about three or more Beat authors will usually appear only in the Beats in general chapter. Where required "see also" references to other entries for the same item are made in the annotations. Introductions, prefaces and other brief contributions by one subject to books by or about another subject in the bibliography generally have only one entry, with the main subject of the particular book.
Entries are numbered sequentially within each chapter and each chapter begins with a new sequence of numbers. Every item therefore has a unique reference made up of the chapter letter and the number of the book within the chapter, e.g. A123, C90, I700 etc. Some chapters have general sections specific to that chapter and these are arranged at the beginning of the chapter. Author subjects within chapters are arranged alphabetically by name and entries within subsections are arranged chronologically by date of publication. When more than one book has been published in the same year, they are arranged alphabetically by title. The Periodicals section of the Beats in general chapter is arranged alphabetically by title.
