For those assembling a victorian fiction anthology or tracing public domain fiction, the catalogue serves as a compact historical fiction index and a dependable book collectors resource.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.

Essential for book-hunters, educators and anyone fascinated by reading history. Its concise listings point to the circulation of titles, informing exhibitions, catalogues and private collections worldwide today.
