Tauchnitz Editions

Of Novels by

Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Tauchnitz editions were English language paperbacks published in Leipzig, Germany, and were bought by Europeans, tourists wanting the latest novel to read on holiday, and expatriates. The publisher Bernhard Tauchnitz paid for the European copyrights and the books were not allowed to be taken into the United Kingdom or America. Apart from Braddon's last novels (and a few titles published by other European English language publishers when John Maxwell sought higher payments from short-lived rivals to Tauchnitz), nearly all of her books were published in the Tauchnitz edition.
