Bibliography (and more)
Below is a full bibliography for The Secret History of Vladimir Nabokov. Before the bibliography is a space set aside for clarifications or corrections on the printed text, and a separate section listing Nabokov sites I've found useful or interesting. If you have a site you'd like to see included on this list, please email it to me, noting any especially interesting aspects.

Clarifications/omissions/errata
2/18/13 – noted by the author - page 99 - “soon to be called Glory”: “soon” should read “eventually.”
2/18/13 – noted by the author - page 100 - “pretends to be Swiss”: it may be worth clarifying that Martin is one-quarter Swiss, but his identity is fully Russian.
2/18/13 – noted by the author – page 162 – “filled out their declarations of intent”: Before disembarking, the Nabokovs did on their immigration paperwork declare their intent to stay in the U.S. permanently, but they did not sign the forms titled “Declaration of Intention” until later that same year.
2/26/13 – Acknowledgments: A (regrettably missed) thank you to D. Barton Johnson, who read and commented on a write-up of my early Pale Fire research in 2009.
5/20/13 – noted by the author – page 390, note 77– "an Oscar-winning director": William Dieterle did direct Oscar-winning films and was himself nominated for an Academy Award in 1937 for his direction of The Life of Emile Zola, but he never won the Oscar for Best Director.

Additional sources and information
Several articles (often wire reports) appeared in substantially the same form in the Times of London, the International Herald Tribune (in its various incarnations), and The New York Times. In order to let spelunkers more easily dive into this material, where The New York Times covered a given story, I have cited its version, which can be accessed electronically without charge at most public libraries in the United States.
I reviewed many of Nabokov's draft manuscripts, journals, and letters in the holdings of the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library and the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, but did not always cite the primary source in my book. In situations where Andrew Field, Brian Boyd, or Stacy Schiff had already covered a matter in the Nabokovs' lives in one of the biographies, I often cited their reference(s) to a given conversation or incident in my endnotes, both to acknowledge their work and to inform readers about other already-published accounts that would not require them to visit or gain access to (in some cases) restricted archives.
