Notes / Commentary:

The name was changed to "Library" some time after no. 69. Earlier issues were kept in print and the name "Library" was substituted for "Series."

The original LeBlanc listing was missing nos. 11-16, 18-23, 25-27, 29-34, 36-42, 44, 46, 57-60, 63-67, 69-121, 123-133, 135-138, 141-171 and 174+. No. 19 was added based on photographs seen on eBay. Nos. 11-14 were added based on advertising found in The American Bookseller, v. XXIII, no. 12, page 290. No. 26 was added based on a listing in The Newsdealer (v. I, no. 4, June 1890, page 94). No. 39 was listed in The American Bookseller v. XXX, no. 1, page 4. It appears that the title of no. 45 may have changed between the "Series" and the "Library," based on comparison of LeBlanc's original listing and the copy held at Villanova University; it is also possible there is an error here somewhere. No. 80 was added from a digitized copy in the Internet Archive. No. 98 was reported from the collection of Andrew Dangelas. Nos. 15-16, 18, 20-21, 23, 27, 29-31, 41, 59-60, 71-72, 76, 83, 85-86, 92-93, 95, 101-102, 111, 117, 129-130, 138, 141, 147, 151 and 174 were found in WorldCat. Nos. 42, 62, 66, 73, 75, 81, 88 and 105 were found in the Guide to the Levy Dime Novel Collection at The Fales Library & Special Collections. Nos. 153-164 were added based on a listing in Publishers' Weekly no. 1565 (January 25, 1902). Nos. 165-171 and 175-176 come from a listing in The American Catalog, 1900-1905 from the Office of the Publishers' Weekly, page 1217. Positions in the series of unnumbered titles are currently unknown; all unnumbered titles come from WorldCat, except for Estelle, which comes from an ad on the front of The Publishers' Weekly, v. XLI, no. 2 (January 9, 1892).
