YES - I was able to find my own copy of this two-volume, extremely rare,edition of this day-by-day diary from all sources of Emily Dickinson's life. An amazing reference - if you cannot own it, read it at the library.

By the research itself, this is worth every second of your reading time. Emily was such a sweet and talented woman.
