←Menu of Letters 1898

Aet. 45, to a London publisher. Unwin published “libraries,” series of books on a common theme. John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs. Pearl Craigie) first appeared in his “Pseudonym Library”; Joseph Conrad, John Galsworthy and W.B. Yeats were also authors in that series.

The first English edition of Evelyn Innes had 480 numbered, closely printed pages; the second edition published a few weeks later had 484.

George Moore’s favorite print job up to now was Alfred Nutt’s Impressions and Opinions (1891) or Walter Scott’s The Strike at Arlingford (1893); the design of the latter was adapted by William Heinemann, who succeeded Unwin as George’s English publisher in 1905.
