These small 16 pp octavo weekly magazines date from the early nineteenth century, are illustrated on the front cover and many have a number of further illustrations inside. They may have occasional foxing or other light staining. The sheets are not sewn. We have many more unlisted numbers. If you are interested in a bulk buy, please email me.
Images are a guide but tend to exaggerate any blemishes and may make white paper look shaded.
If you want several items, email me for a discount!
UK Buyers of small items may find the postage high as the PayPal button only offers one price world-wide whatever the size. If so email me first so I may look to reduce the charge.
