Publisher's Blurb: From advertisement on back cover of The War Library no. 9 (November 11, 1882): "If you want a first-class Story Paper--original, full of life, intensely interesting--you will buy the NEW YORK FAMILY FAVORITE. It combines all the good qualities of other story papers, with the advantage of being complete in each and every number, and is sure to be popular. THE NEW YORK FAMILY FAVORITE contains a great variety of stories--is ably edited, and has a large list of the best contributors. Forty long columns of solid reading each week--one long story, a number of sketches, poetry, answers to correspondents; notes of stage and studio, items of general information--make it a reliable, interesting and instructive paper for the family. For sale by all Newsdealers."

Notes / Commentary: LeBlanc saw only issue no. 1; the lead story from no. 2 was advertised in that issue. In the first issue's "Answers to Correspondents" department, the following is noted: "The New York Weekly Novelist was in its eleventh volume at the time of this change, and this number is issued in place of No. 13 Vol. XI."
