This series contains print copies of published monographs of various languages. The works are lists in the bibliography in Appendix 3: Book Collection Bibliography.

The booklets and brochures in the Roy States Collection are distributed among several of its series, but in most cases the booklets are part of either Series B or Series C. This distribution reflects the two initial stages of the arrangement of the collection after it was donated to Rare Books and Special Collections. In the first stage, most of the booklets and brochures were uncatalogued. A few were boxed together as miscellaneous materials, but many were placed in individual envelopes or folders, were given individual identification codes, and were listed in the printed finding aid for the collection. In the second stage, some of the booklets with identification codes were catalogued individually; these items are now part of Series B. Most of the remaining booklets, as well as the majority of the brochure-type materials, form Series C.
