This fine set of quarter pigskin encyclopedias in a revolving wooden book stand with Temple
sundial device decals on the sides is the proud possession of Charles Bowers of Toronto. Dents sold various book stands, shelves, boxed sets, and other EML related items too
numerous to mention, though now seldom to be found, especially outside the U.K. |

In 1931 Dents published the 2nd edition of the encylopedia in a larger format with no serial numbers, but as Seymour notes, it "was still considered part of EML" until it was transferred to the Everyman Reference Library with the 3rd edition of 1949 (History 115). This quarter-leather set in a Craftsman-style shelf is from the collection of Mike Greenleaf of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

The image at left is an enlarged version of a stamp (3/4 x 3/4 in, or 2 x 2 cm) which appears usually on the inside of the rear free endpaper in EML Stevenson volumes. The 1912 General Regulations allowed for the collection of copyright royalties on published works by means of stamps. The stamps were produced from 1925-44 by the Society of Authors, Playrights and Composers at the request of Stevenson's heir and stepson, Lloyd Osborn, to facilitate his collection of royalties on his stepfather's works.
