    • Data from Amazon US 2017-11-15 (much updated from -08-04), whose blurb begins "On the 150th anniversary of artist Arthur Rackham's birth, a gorgeous hardcover ..."
    • Amazon US/UK provide "Look inside!" that shows: -- Copyright page: "This is a Borzoi Book ..."; "First included in Everyman's Library Children's Classics 2017" -- Contents, as below including page numbers, except three two-line listings that suggest subtitles, which should be checked • The Assignation: Venice • King Pest: A Tale Containing an Allegory • The Mystery of Marie Rogêt: A Sequel to "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" The selection is adequate to show that there are numerous small b/w illustrations by Rackham; presumably with all 29 of the full-page (12 col, 17 b/w) but the "Look" selection contains no list of illustrations/plates.
