Early Paperback Romance Novels
Long before the advent of Harlequin and other series of romance
novels, American publishers of dime novels such as Street and
Smith recognized the importance of women as a market. We were
fortunate enough to find a cache of these late nineteen and early
twentieth century paperbacks in a Northern New Hampshire estate.
The condition reflects their age and the cheap materials used
in their manufacture. Chips and tears in the covers are typical
as is some spine loss and discoloration. Each, however, is complete
and an example of the genre.
