For Example:

Jules Verne Encyclopedia:
" By December 23, 1876, Lee and Shepard offered their Handy Verne Series, three volumes containing Tour of the World in 80 Days, Winter on Ice, and Wreck of the Chancellor, each $1. Lee and Shepard obtained the plates for all three of these works from Albert Mason, who purchased them at the Osgood sale. ... The front cover repeats the same design on the back cover, with the title, author's name and the St. Michel embossed in red on black cloth."
Ed Note: Contents are 1st US Edition, Osgood 1875, but Binding is Lee and Shepard,
Matching Around the World in Eighty Days and A Winter in the Ice volumes that have been seen, have Lee and Shepard on the title page, and matching binding.
