Publishers:	Hovendon Company (New York (N.Y.): 17 and 19 Waverley Place) -- United States International Book Company (New York (N.Y.): 17 and 19 Waverley Place) -- United States
Category:	Format : Reprint Library
Schedule:	Issued with varying schedules: Daily, Tri-Weekly, Weekly and Monthly. Of issues examined, Nos. 11 and 89 were Tri-Weekly; No. 52 was Daily; Nos. 114, 149, 153, 159, 170, 176, 179, 185 and 204 were Weekly. No. 140 was Monthly.
Size:	7 x 5"
Pages:	200 to 300
Physical Description:	Designed cover in one color. All copies examined by LeBlanc were in yellow covers with red lettering.
Notes / Commentary:	According to LeBlanc's listing, he only examined Nos. 52, 89, 140, 153, 159 and 170, but additional handwritten details were added later. The listing ended at No. 204 (a handwritten addition) and was missing Nos. 101, 202 and 203. Nos. 187 through 201 were seen in one ad only with the titles of the Dora Thorne stories. However, No. 187 was examined by LeBlanc and proved to be The Scarlet Letter. Substitutions may have been imposed on the series. A copy of No. 149 was observed with Hovendon replaced by International Book Company on the cover, so it seems that the publisher transitioned at some point in the run.
