Description: A rare survival. Scarce original pictorial softback with chromolithographic cover. These early paperback books were published in the Victorian era and provided entertaining or sensational reading for railway journeys. They have chromolithographic illustrated covers. Although produced in large numbers, they were regarded as disposable at the time, and survivals are relatively scarce.  

8.25 inches by 5.25 inches. 136 pages.  Paper at spine missing, but binding holding completely sound and square (see pictures). Tear rear blank endpaper (see picture). Toning to prelims and page edges (see pictures).  Old pencil notes to front endpaper. A rare book. 

Provenance: We have recently acquired a large private collection of yellowback books and Victorian pulp publications.
