Book Description
London: George Newnes, Ltd., [nd. but 1904].. 206,[16]pp. Octavo. Pictorial wrapper. Frontis and plates. Lacking the lower wrapper (which printed the last two pages of adverts), some small nicks in the fore-margin of the last few leaves, cheap paper stock tanned, as usual, small pieces of glassine (stamp hinges?) anchoring head and toe of spine, otherwise a good, unrestored copy of this cheaply made book. First edition in this format, first impression, with eight half-tone plates (including the frontis), and fifty titles in the list of the 'Sixpenny Novels' in the terminal adverts. But for the fact that Arthur Rackham executed the frontis and plates that appear for the first time in this edition, an otherwise undistinguished, though rather uncommon, pulp reprint. A later printing included 140 titles in the series list.
