Whatever you pour on the microfilm, make sure it comes off as easily as
it goes on.

Seriously, grab Jack Sublette's bibliography, or, even handier, the
Salinger home page of stories, and hunt them down. Some libraries, if
you are lucky and care more about the end result than the process, may
have the illicit "uncollected works" in their special collections, so
you can read them all in one place with minimum legwork. Just take
lots of notes in pencil.

Good luck with St. John's and $$$.
