Notes on Early Illustrated Editions:

First printings of Brothers Karamazov, Wisdom of Confucius, Pickwick Papers, and History of Tom Jones have the imprint "Modern Library" on the spine of the binding; all later printings have the imprint "Illustrated Modern Library."

As many as 500 copies of each of these titles were signed by the illustrators in an early promotion.
