In 1883 Belford, Clarke and company published the first edition of Peck’s Compendium of Fun. It is a 540 page compilation of stories from Peck’s Bad Boy #1, #2 and Peck’s Fun.

In 1886 two “Peck’s Fun” books were published. One was called Peck’s Compendium of Fun and contained 272 pages of vignettes that originally appeared in the 1883 Belford, Clarke Peck’s Compendium of Fun. The second book, Peck’s Fun, also published by Belford, Clarke contained 276 pages of vignettes that appeared in the earlier Compendium of Fun book. The contents of both the 1886 books were totally different.

The later Compendium of Fun was published by Belford, Clarke and in 1890 by Donohue, Henneberry and Company.
That book is added to the database today and is shown here.

The 1886 Peck’s Fun was published by a number of publishers into the early 1900’s.
