The Little, Brown & Company "Library Edition" of Victor Hugo issued in 1888–1889 was not a single uniform set with a fixed number of volumes. Instead, Little, Brown published Hugo's major novels as part of a Library Edition series, and collectors often assembled sets from the individual works which were issued separately.
