A Bad Boy’s Diary

J. S. Ogilvie & Co. New York published the first edition in parts and subsequently in cloth/wraps in 1880. This cloth/wraps books were published in non series form throughout the 1880’s. Today I am adding a new picture of an early cloth edition. These Ogilvie books can be dated by using the address at the base of the title page.

Here are the street addresses of Ogilvie in the 1880’s:

Ogilvie street addresses:
29 Rose Street 1879-1881
25 Rose Street 1881-1882
31 Rose Street 1883-1886
57 Rose Street 1888-1897

Note that a range of publication dates can be determined. Since this book was first published in 1880, one would expect the first edition imprint address to be 29 Rose street. I have not seen this book.

This book – 25 Rose Street—–1881-1882
