Series Notes:
1. Formats 4-6 were published after Formats 1-3.
2. The Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass book is the first
combination Alice book published by Altemus. The books appeared
separately in the Young People's Library the same year (1895).
3. The Presentation Editions are among the rarest of all Altemus books.
4. I consider the Alice book in this series the best Altemus edition of
this title in terms of quality.
