Series Advertising
This September, 1909 ad notes 3 of the 6 Motor Boat Club Series books
that were published in 1909. Generally, when a number of books from the
same series are copyrighted in the same year, the thought is that they
were all released in one group- a breeder set. Looking at the ad below
this does not appear to be the case here. The ad mentions the first
three books but not the other three that were also copyrighted in 1909.
"Others in preparation for early publication". Thus the first three
were published before numbers 4-6. Since this ad is from September, the
other books must have been published in the last three months of the
year. The first three probably were reprinted at that time.
