The Royal Dream Book, 1859. No named publisher. Just 13cm by 8cm, this little beauty was designed to attract young ladies with its bright red cloth binding, gilt edges and neat size. The 'Royal' in the title means only 'best'.
Another one for the ladies. This was first published in 1901 - the year after Freud's rather heavier take on the matter, 'The Interpretation of Dreams'. This reprint dates from 1929.
