About this Item
New Edition C1890. An early 'Yellowback novel' A yellowback is a cheap novel which was published in Britain in the second half of the 19th century. Developed in the 1840s to compete with the "penny dreadful", yellow-backs were marketed as entertaining reading. They had brightly coloured covers, often printed by chromoxylography, that were attractive to a new class of readers, thanks to the spread of education and rail travel. Routledge was one of the first publishers to begin marketing yellow-backs by starting their "Railway Library" in 1848. The series included 1,277 titles, published over 50 years. These mainly consisted of stereotyped reprints of novels originally published as cloth editions. By the late 19th century quite a few publishers were issuing their own versions of yellow-backs eg Chatto and Windus, Smith Elder,Longmans, Ward Lock. They included sensational fiction, adventure stories, "educational" manuals, handbooks, and cheap biographies. Book is good+ and quite bright. Edges and surface very rubbed in places. Loss to spine edges and top revealing webbing. Hinges repaired. Corners rounded. Covers marked in places. Contents quite good. Small bookplate to endpaper. Endpapers slightly age toned. Holding together quite well. More images can be taken upon request. Ref 17939. Seller Inventory # 027455
