Type of Content

• "'The Fancy Trades Register and Circular' will be devoted to the supplying of exclusive and valuable periodical information, on all matters referring to and connected with the Fancy and Miscellaneous portion of a Bookseller's business, e.g. Printing and Binding, Fancy Stationery in all its branches, the Manufacture of Leather Goods, Cabinet Goods, Berlin Wool, Articles of Music and Musical Instruments, Photographs, Toys, etc., and will each month lay before the Trade ample information in reference to all the new and best designs in English and Foreign Manufactures, which will be duly noticed and criticised on their respective merits, and from a perfectly impartial point of view, as also a résumé will be given of the Trade Gossip of the Month" ("Will be Published" p. 396)

Notes

• Combined with The Stationer and Papermakers’, Printers’, and Bookbinders’ Circular after the second number of that publication to become The Stationer and Fancy Trades Register (COPAC)
• "'The Register and Circular' will be edited by a Gentleman thoroughly acquainted with the many matters on which it will treat from time to time, assisted by other Gentlemen, who will supply special information in the several departments of the Fancy Trades. The columns of the 'Register and Circular' will be open to Correspondents on all matters connected with the Trade, which are calculated to develop its interests; and by reason of the many Advertisements from Leading Firms in London and the provinces, which will be found attached to it, must be most valuable both to Employers and Employed throughout the United Kingdom" ("Will be Published" p. 396)
• "In style and appearance, 'The Register and Circular' will, in all respects, be uniform with 'The Bookseller' but differing from that periodical by confining its attention to the Miscellaneous Branches of the Book Trade only. The Publishers, therefore, are confident that 'The Register of the Fancy Trades,' besides being of great utility of itself, will form a companion to either that publication, or 'The Publishers’ Circular’" ("Will be Published" p. 396)
