It's called Estelle by Mrs. Annie Edwards and its a love story. I also have three other paper backs from 1908. I love reading Victorian and Edwardian novels. <br /><br />I never knew about the Penny Dreadfuls I have heard about the dime novels though. To bad you couldn't pick up a new paper back for ten cents anymore lol.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718620444298042248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-81401103206901872452009-09-10T01:12:34.793-04:002009-09-10T01:12:34.793-04:00I still lurve the feel of a hardback book.

They were usually serialized stories, aimed at a working class adolescent audience though their appeal ended up being broader than that.Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-44119087808223497192009-09-09T14:28:22.525-04:002009-09-09T14:28:22.525-04:00I didn't know this!

Poor paperbacks! Just imagine all those books published that might not have snuck their way into a library or archives or antiquarian's collection...<br /><br />I just read the plot blurb for <i>Bewitching Season</i>. Sounds wonderful! I'll put it on my TBR list.Sarah O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01336602241504980801noreply@blogger.com
