This book is in good condition with some foxing. Boys' First-Rate Pocket Library was published by Aldine Publishing Company based in London, UK. This issue is not in the attached video so I have put many images up ask any questions you may have before bidding.Thank you

This publication is not considered a Pulp magazine but falls under the terminology of a "Penny Dreadful". Unusual for a publication of its type it featured coloured covers.

It was first published in 1890 and run for a total of 472 issues until it folded in 1905.

The stories were typically lurid tales intended to grip the reader, initially of pirates and highway-men, later concentrating on crime and detection. Please look closely at the video as they are a good indication of condition any questions please ask before bidding .

   This book is one of a large collection we are placing on our Ebay store of rarely available items and books. The book is one of the many rarely seen items that we will be offering over the next few months from a collectors estate sale. Once these are gone how long before you will see them come up again. Once a collector buys them they go right back into a vault somewhere.

We will respond to you within the allotted time but if it has just been listed we will give it the full time period to allow others to make similar offers or purchase. We list many, many items that may be "One of a kind" or simply "One of a kind on the market". These items usually are placed in collections which are not seen again on the market until once again sold by collectors. If you collect, you realize that is a once in a lifetime occurrence for collectors.....
