Description

McClure sold the cheap-edition rights in 1907 to A. Wessels Company, which issued an edition in boards, published with McClure’s leftover sheets, as well as 15,000 copies in wrappers. Wessels was soon sold to Grosset & Dunlap, and the remaining sheets were reissued several times with the original Wessels title page.
