THE SEASIDE LIBRARY
[ Front Page ]
The Seaside Library was one of the most successful New York publishers of
cheap pirated reprints. It
was run by George Munro who sent Collins payment for some stories; in
1886 Collins considered offering him The
Guilty River. The Seaside
Library was usually issued three times a week, mainly at ten or twenty cents.
There also followed a later series, the 'Seaside Library Pocket
Edition'. Collins titles included:
The Woman in White

titles traced follow a logical sequence according to the date of publication.
