Macmillan's Three-and-Sixpenny Library of Books by Popular Authors December 1905
Crown 8vo.
Reprints of the First Editions, with all the Original Illustrations, and with Facsimiles of Wrappers, etc.
Messrs. Macmillan & Co., Limited, beg leave to invite the attention of book buyers to the Edition of The Works of Thackeray in their Three-and-Sixpenny Library, which, when finished, will be the Completest Edition of the Author's Works which has been placed on the market.
The Publishers have been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Lewis Melville, the well-known Thackeray Expert. With his assistance they have been able to include in this Edition a great number of scattered pieces from Thackeray's pen, and illustrations from his pencil which have not hitherto been contained in any collected edition of the works. Mr. Melville has read all the sheets as they passed through the press, and collated them carefully with the original editions. He has also provided Bibliographical Introductions and occasional Footnotes.
List of the Series.
EXPOSITORY TIMES. — An edition to do credit even to this publishing house, and not likely to be surpassed until they surpass it with a cheaper and better themselves.
WHITEHALL REVIEW. — Never before has such a cheap and excellent edition of Thackeray been seen.
ACADEMY. — A better one-volume edition at three shillings and sixpence could not be desired.
GRAPHIC. — In its plain but pretty blue binding is both serviceable and attractive.
