  • Publication Series: Cassell's Red Library Pub. Series Record # 5764
  • Note: One advertisement in The Athenaeum #3115 (1887-07-09) p63, "Cassell & Company's Libraries" lists this one under the subheading (typography original): "Monthly, price One Shilling each, in stiff covers; or Two Shillings each, handsomely bound in cloth." No editor is named. The "List of Volumes already published" contains 31 unnumbered title/author listings, as 33 volumes. Relying on report that Selections from Poe is #22, the listed sequence appears to be latest to earliest, #33 to #1 with two numbers assigned to the two-volume publications. All may be non-genre except as Poe and implied #18 The Scarlet Letter qualify. (July 1887 is the 31st month from the beginning of 1885.)

2/-?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
