Although Stone nurtured Faulkner's early literary efforts, he did not entirely appreciate Faulkner's more mature works. As Faulkner's eminence as a writer grew, Stone became increasingly embittered.

Some of Phil Stone's papers are housed in the Special Collections Department of the University of Memphis Library.
