Between 1891 and 1896 all of the Kellogg series' books were part of
Lee
and Shepard Star Series. Between 1898 and 1906 the Kellogg books were
in the American Boys' Series. See those pages for more details. Later
Lothrop, Lee and Shepard published the Kellogg books in several
formats.
Format 1 (This format was noted from the earliest editions until the
early 1880's)
Cloth. Green, maroon, and blue seen. Blindstamped. Gilt
illustration and lettering on the spine. 7" x 4.5".
Several full page illustrations by Merrill.
Format 2
From the early 1880's until after Lee and Shepard became Lothrop, Lee
and Shepard in 1905 there is a format that has a black circle on the
front cover within which it notes the book title and series name. The
Lee and Shepard books have gold lettering on the spine whereas the
Lothrop, Lee and Shepard have black lettering.
