Format
"These are interesting books and were planned as an on-going series but did not sell well enough to carry them beyond the third year. In fact it seems likely that Connett produced a lesser quantity of the third volume, even though it says 750, and produced it primarily for the purpose of selling it with the left over volumes I and II" (Frazier).
