    This series of small pamphlets contains a mix of fiction and non-fiction, published circa 1900. The series has no official title printed on the pamphlets, but each is numbered. Much (possibly all) of the content is identical to that found in the Multum in Parvo Library produced starting in January 1894 by A. B. Courtney and other publishers, but the "Multum in Parvo" name is not found on these versions. The publisher of these editions is presumed to be John Regan of Chicago based on advertising found within the pamphlets. In all likelihood, John Regan published the untitled and undated but numbered 5 Cent Pamphlets contained in this collection sometime between 1900 and 1917.

    This series of chapbooks, self-described as the "Smallest Magazine in the World," contained a variety of fiction and non-fiction content. It was later reprinted anonymously and without a series title under different covers; these are collected here as the John Regan Five Cent Pamphlets, though the attribution of John Regan as publisher is purely speculative.
