Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Meagre coverage in newspaper notices and advertisements, and in library records, shows Nimmo's Popular Tales to be a series of anthologies. British Library records generally cover the stories individually. For volume 2 (scheduled to be ready on the first of July, from newspapers), ten works are catalogued (BL, below) as "In : Nimmo (William P.) Nimmo's Popular Tales, etc. vol. 2. 1866, etc. 8º.", or equivalent. Records of the other nine stories are BL 002122206 (title story, from newspapers) and BL 001749584 002527029 003627043 002706342 000259884 002437913 001495379 001407574.
