[Periodicals.] The Chap-Book Semi-monthly, Chicago: Stone & Kimball, July 15, 1895. 12mo, pp. 170-197, wrappers, with centerfold poem by Jean Wright decorated by Frank Hazenplug. "The Chap-Book started a small magazine craze in the U.S. and gave a strong impetus to modern graphic design," says Richard and Elaine Russell's "Vintage Magazines," p. 149. Also, "It was a finely printed, small format literary periodical with avant garde illustrations." Its goal was to promote Stone & Kimball authors, but it is probably best known today for Will Bradley's large, colorful art nouveau posters advertising the magazine.
