Sold
London: John Dicks, 1885-1886. First Edition / First Impression. Hardback. Good condition. Numbers 834 to 911. Starting on page 1 of volume XXXIII and continuing over three complete volumes ending with volume XXXV and page 415. Every Week was published by John Dicks, a well known publisher of penny dreadfuls. The series ran from 1869 to 1894, in 54 volumes until it was incorporated into Bow Bells. Within the pages are numerous full runs of sensational, gothic, crime and supernatural fiction the main runs being The Thugs of Paris, An Evil Passion; or, Tracked Down by Fate, The Woman in Black, Her Master; or, Her Slave, The Forger, A Coward's Vengeance and Laverna; or, A Slave's Devotion. Many of the serials herein seem to be under researched, and we can only speculate on authorship. A large volume, half bound in leather, some rubbing and wear to the boards and leather. First few leaves creased vertically along the centre, a few other leaves with tears. Largely in excellent shape, likely only surviving this long due to the binding. An impressive volume, with a good deal of content. Good. Item #13703
