"Ten of the booklets were reprints of biographies previously published in the Dime Biographical Library twelve to sixteen years before. These re-printings have exactly the same contents as the earlier issues, and were apparently printed from the same plates, but instead of having orange wrappers, they now have white ones with the front illustration in colors."--Johannsen, A.
