This firm reprinted T. S. Arthur's Ten Nights in a Bar-Room in two different series. It produced no other Arthur titles.

The Melbourne Series contains fifty 12 mo. paperback books which were published monthly between 1893 and 1896. Ten Nights in a Bar-Room was printed in 1896 as #47. I have not seen this book.

The Handy Volume Series is a 75 title series printed between 1895 and 1898. These 6" x 4.5" were published with a number of different cover formats. The 1895-1896 volumes note the E. A. Weeks & Co. imprint whereas the 1897-1898 titles have the Weeks Publishing Co. as the imprint. The Ten Nights in Bar-Room book is 175 pages without any illustrations. This title is number 36 in the series.

Two formats from this series are shown below. Note some formats were published between 1895-1898, some 1895-1896 whereas others were only in 1897-1898. The Weeks' website reviews the dates/formats, etc.
