In 1947 Bullard agreed to act with N.F Mott as an editor of the International Monographs in Physical Science. He continued in that capacity for nearly twenty years, resigning at the beginning of 1966. He subsequently advised on specific projects.

This is a very substatial, though uneven, correspondence with the Press, Mott and prospective authors, amongst whom were very distinguished physical scientists such as S. Chandrasekhar and S. Chapman, and includes outlines of proposed books and Bullard's comments on manuscripts. It is arranged chronologically.
