3. The Books

The Lothrop companies published many more series and libraries for children than any American publisher. Numerous titles appeared in more than one series/library. In fact a number of titles appeared in more than five series. Because of this and the fact that most Lothrop volumes do not identify which series they belong to, determining the format of a series/library has been very challenging. Most series were sold as boxed sets which identified the series. Unfortunately the boxed sets are unbelievably scarce.

Adding to the difficulties identifying Lothrop sets is the fact that many series/libraries noted in the Lothrop catalogues and ads, mention the name of the series/library and state the number of books within it but do not list the titles anywhere.

Thus the Lothrop part of the bibliography is clearly a work in progress.
