Category: Format : Small Booklet
Issues: 22

Columns: 1
Price: 15¢
Size: 6 5/8" x 4 1/2"

Physical Description: Except for the wrappers, each issue is identical with the corresponding number in Beadle's Dime Novels. Some of the first thirteen issues were most likely put out as unbound signatures covered in special wrappers with the higher 15¢ price.
Notes / Commentary: "No copies of the low numbers have been found, but all copies seen from No. 17 on, carry at the bottom of the front cover, below the name of the publishers, the imprint of R. Coburn, New Orleans. This suggests that these booklets were issued for the Southern trade, where the cost of shipment made the ten cent price prohibitive."--Johannsen, A.
