SADLEIR 12; see also SADLEIR 16(n): "A curious secondary issue of both series of stories (in separate form) remains to be noted. Copies sometimes appear of the first edition sheets of the books cut down to 4-3/4 x 7-1/4 and bound in a smooth linen.blocked in gold with a frame and a decoration on the side, gold-lettered and gold blocked with a diapered pattern on the spine.the cloth used for these bindings and the style of the blocking are of comparatively late date (probably the 'eighties) and I am inclined to deduce. that a residue of first edition sheets was discovered by the publishers and sold by them to some wholesaler who put on their own cheap quality binding and sold the books at a low price."
