By investigating the history of the spaces in which such three-volume novels and yellowbacks would have been purchased and read, while simultaneously considering the material qualities of these formats, it is possible to make clear connections between Victorian railway culture and the contemporary literary world. These books stand as material evidence of the far-reaching impact of the railway on nineteenth-century book publishing
