Publisher's Blurb: "Our library comprises the best fiction by the world's famous writers. The books are bound in good paper covers, comprise from 144 to 600 pages each, and are printed from new open-face large, easy-reading type on paper of good quality. Any of these books, except the first, sent postpaid on receipt of 15 one-cent postage stamps or for 2 trade-marks from Hood's Sarsaparilla and 2 cents in stamps. We have not room for all the titles here. We give only a few. A longer list will be sent on application."
Physical Description: Title and author in black, top quarter of cover. Rest of cover is devoted to the illustration. Title on spine in black with series name and number. Undated.
Notes / Commentary: The original LeBlanc listing was missing numbers 1-30, 32-35, 37-41, 43-67, 69-132, 137-141, 143-187, 189-213, 215-237, 239-268, 270-278 and 280-287. #1 and #6 were added from WorldCat (#6 also confirmed by a bookseller's image); information on #2 was provided by Cary Sternick. #10 was documented in Sherlock Holmes Among the Pirates by Donald A. Redmond (Greenwood Press, 1990). It appears from the sampling of known issues that titles were recycled within the series, so it is unclear how many distinct titles were included.
