B. "Reviews, Correspondence on Publications," 1934-1999, 1934-1999

Contains correspondence with publishers, editors, and readers; financial records; legal documents; printed material. Paredes created files on specific works and general files by publisher. Some old correspondence is in subject folders (Box 18). In his "UT Press" file, Paredes included correspondence both regarding his own books and concerning his work as a reviewer for the press. Rather than creating files for his later books published by Arte Público Press, he typically placed all correspondence in the general publisher folders.

Paredes did not file his royalty statements and reprint permission forms consistently, and they were organized during processing. Titled folders of correspondence regarding some early publications were moved from Series IV to this one.

Paredes filed correspondence regarding his edited volume, Humanidad, in Subseries 2 of this series. He stored the files regarding his co-edited volumes Toward New Perspectives in Folklore and The Urban Experience and Folk Tradition with his Journal of American Folklore files, in Series III, Subseries 4. The file about his note "Tag, You're It" is in the Series III, Subseries 3, Course Files. Further correspondence concerning Folklore and Culture on the Texas-Mexican Border is in his Center for Mexican American Studies files, Victor Guerra file (Series II, Subseries 1)
