Bellamy, Apparitions of Things to Come (Kerr, Lost Utopias, 1990?) --pertaining to multiple editions/printings thereof
- See also Lindsay, The Golden Book of Springfield P587902 (and its shorter Bibliographic Comment), which is the other of two database publications in the Lost Utopias series as of 2016-10-04.
[Update. After much improvement in the database records 2016-10-04/05, it remains:
- 1986 Title date and 1988 filename are inherited, the latter with some support, the former perhaps a hasty misreading of the publisher "Established 1886".
