George Arents Collection of Books in Parts

<http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/rbk/arents/arentsbooks.html> Accessed June 4, 2009:

"The George Arents Collection of Books in Parts contains over 1,200 items and is one of the most important collections assembled on the principle that the publications therein appeared serially in separate numbers and are still in their original state. In the words of Sarah Augusta Dickson, the first curator of the George Arents Collection:

Books in parts may be defined as works by an author or authors which are published piecemeal over a period of time, each unit having its separate cover, usually paper or boards, and in many cases with the title-page and other preliminary matter for the volume or volumes at the end of the last part.

This method of publishing benefited the publisher as it was thought that the price of a weekly or monthly part at one shilling was affordable to a wider readership than the price of pound sterling for a bound volume. The collection generally does not include other types of serial literature such as works that were published in installments in periodicals. ..."

In this article the edition is refered to as "Part Works", however, the image is helpful in understand the relationship.
