The Nugget Library

The second series of the Nugget Library was published by James Henderson but was taken over by the Amalgamated Press after 20 issues. The books were published at a rate of 2 per month and largely featured stories reprinted from earlier Amalgamated Press story papers

The following list covering the Edwy Searles Brooks stories and the scan of issue 4 are reproduced with permission from www.greyfriarsindex.co.uk. The original listings are based on The Nelson Lee Library and Bibliography of the writings of Edwy Searles Brooks by Robert C. Blythe, revised by Mark Caldicott 1995. You can find Mark's website here

Since creating this page I have discovered a complete contents list on page 227 of the Collectors Digest Issue 56. It's interesting to note that two Charles Hamilton stories were published in issues 32 and 64. These are almost certainly reprints of stories which first appeared in the Union Jack in 1905. I'll update the page when time permits.

The Nugget Library merged with the Boys Friend Library after 70 issues.
