It could be that all the adverts for each issue were just stacked together and bound into the back of the volume in no particular order. A bit overweight at 5 pounds and may require extra postage. The entire volume for 1893. No individual covers or title pages are bound in. Raithby & Lawrence: Leicester printing firm (later, London: Raithby, Lawrence & Co., Ltd.), noted for its printing of the widely disseminated and influential periodical, The British Printer. Through the efforts and exacting standards of its foreman and chief typographic designer (a new profession for the time) George W. Jones, then Robert Grayson, the firm developed the so-called Leicester Free Style which was England's answer to the artistic printing movement. (Dictionary of 19th-Century Journalism).
