Subject	Re: [SERIALST] Question on historical publication practices

Yes, this was being done as early as (and even earlier than) 1840.

At the Ransom Center, we have volumes 1 through 4, each bound as you describe, with no indication they are reprinted.

Colleagues,

I'm sorry, I can't think of a better subject line at the moment.

I have in hand two volumes (v. 2 and v. 4) of Dial (Boston, Mass.). There is no indication that they are reprints. The dates are 1842 and 1844. The periodical was originally issued quarterly. However, it appears as if a title page and table of contents were issued with the last number, so the issues could be bound together. Was this already being done so early? Or did publishers reprint issues as one volume at this time? What do I have in hand?

Many thanks for your help.

Michael
