Summary
To understand exactly what this item is, it helps to clear up a common misconception: it is not a book, nor is it a traditional literary novel. Instead, it is a bound volume of The Graphic, a weekly British newspaper that ran from 1869 to 1932. Because newspapers back then were flimsy, readers or libraries would collect six months' worth of weekly issues and have them custom-bound into a hardback volume for preservation.
