An ink mark in the margin draws attention to a self- congratulatory item in the August 1898 issue [p. 303] commenting on the demise of Herbert Stone's "The Chap Book": "The inevitable has happened, and the Chap Book, after a checkered existence of some four years, has joined the great mass of other incompetents in the journalistic grave- yard.." In this issue the subtitle on the front wrap is changed to "A Journal of Information for Writers".

A rare 1890s periodical. Good .
