Ralph Adimari

He also wrote a piece titled "Saga of a Dime Novelist" which appeared in American Book Collector in early 1935.

He lived in the New York City area for most of his life, including Mount Vernon and Suffolk.

In addition to his work on dime novels, he co-edited a 1936 collection of Walt Whitman's essays, titled New York Dissected.

The papers comprise correspondence from fellow dime novel collectors and historians, including Edward G. Levy, Dr. Albert Johannsen, Dime Novel Round-Up editors Edward T. LeBlanc and Ralph Cummings, the latter from whom Adimari acquired William Benners's papers, and writers including Col. Charles D. Randolph, aka "Buckskin Bill," known for his dime-novel and Western themed poetry.

Also included are notebooks of research, manuscripts, newspaper clippings related to dime novel authors, photographs, and Victoriana.
