Because the first format is the same, these volumes are being
included here as a series. These books are all about youngsters/
schools/etc. but do not have common characters.
Post 1900 editions are not shown here.
Format 1 (Volumes #1-5) Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.
Cloth. Dark green/brown. Gilt lettering on the cover. 12 mo.
(1890-1894)
The first editions of #1 and #2 only note the East Fourteenth Street
address on the title page.
Later edition of those books and the first editions of the other books
also have the Purchase Street address on the title page.
Dating those books is difficult but the ads in the front and the back
(if any) should not list any titles that were published after the book
in hand for a first edition.
Format 2 (1895/1896-) Volumes 1, 2 and 6. The other books have not been seen in this format.
Cloth. Various colors. Cover with line drawn floral pattern and gilt illustration. 8 vo.
(Not all the titles have been seen but the ones that have been examined have different covers.)
