  1/-^?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. 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).

• Format:
  hc^?Hardcover. Used for all hardbacks of any size.
• Type: NOVEL
• Notes:

  • Price and publication month from A Bibliography of the Works of Robert Louis Stevenson by Colonel W. F. Prideaux, C.S.I. The day of publication is estimated based on the date of the paperback version and the oft-repeated statement that the hc came out "about a week after" that edition. (This also puts the ordering correctly in our listings.) The price seems suspect, since that would mean that the hc and tp editions were both sold at the same price.
  • Salmon-colored cloth with black letters and Longmans' insignia in top left corner. The cloth-bound edition came out about a week after the wrapper-bound edition. 1 page ad at the back for the second edition of "A Child's Garden of Verses." (PBA Galleries)
