A Selection FROM MR. WM. HEINEMANN’S LIST
Reading edition
January 1892.
The Crown Copyright Series.
The changed conditions of publishing in the English-speaking countries, brought about by the American Copyright Legislation of 1891, have made it possible—without doing injustice to the authors—to issue new and original works of fiction in a form immediately accessible to the large class of readers who are unwilling to be permanently and entirely beholden to the Circulating Libraries. Mr. Heinemann has therefore made arrangements with a number of the first and most popular authors of to-day,
ENGLISH, AMERICAN, AND COLONIAL,
which will enable him to issue new and original works of theirs in a Series to be known as the CROWN COPYRIGHT SERIES at a uniform price of FIVE SHILLINGS per volume.
These novels will not pass through an expensive two or three volume edition, but they will be obtainable at the Circulating Libraries as well as at all Booksellers and Bookstalls.
