What we were after, one and all, was to produce a book which would be pleasant to see and to handle, with a cheerful outside, and print easy to read and good for the eyes within—tempting to look at on the shelf, and of a size convenient for the pocket, one that could be taken for a country ramble or for a railway journey or on shipboard. —Ernest Rhys

Although I have tried to link to the Everyman’s Library edition in each case, not every link is the Everyman’s Library edition. When the Everyman’s Library edition has been unavailable, I have linked to the same book by a different publisher.
