I have removed Count Eric Stenbock from the list of authors who have appeared within the pages of the Yellow Book. While Stenbock did indeed submit some of his writing to the Book (one confirmed of these is his play La Mazurka Des Revenants, of which the rejection letter can be viewed in the Durtro pressing released in 2002), he was never published within it. A scan through the digital copies of the Book should reveal this fact to be true. Please replace him in the list if I am incorrect in this. -Maldoror

I removed this text:

It is interesting to compare it with a Black book (also a little black book) which contains a list of potential dates etc carried usually by men and the Blue Book, which is where the comedian Max Miller got his 'dirty' material'. The Red Book is the This is Your Life book.

Didn't seem to be really pertinent to the Yellow Book. If someone wants to make a List of books known by their colours, it ought to include such things as the Red Book of Hergest and the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat as well. -- Smerdis of Tlön 21:34, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Indeed, it isn't very pertinent. The symbolism of the colour yellow here came from the French "livres jaunes", as so-called Decadent books usually came in a yellow cover. Koenraad Cl

French books were wrapped in yellow paper

Does anybody have access to the references that supports this claim? I can't cite Wikipedia as a source and don't have access to all of the references used in the article via JSTOR --5.81.52.82 (talk) 16:24, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some confusion

This article doesn’t seem to distinguish between the publication known as The Yellow Book and ‘yellow books’ as a genre. This ought to be clarified by someone with better knowledge of the subject. 2A00:23C7:E980:500:3C4E:E6AB:B918:DAFC (talk) 18:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Erro ou confusão no tópico: Significance

O erro consiste no seguinte é impossível que Wilde tenha feito referência a Revista The Yellow Book que começa em 1994 se o romance de Wilde é de 90, a referência ao "livro amarelo" no romance de Wilde é de fato para o romance de Huysmans escrito em 1984 na França.

Translated from Portuguese using Google Translate: "The error consists in the following, it is impossible that Wilde made reference to The Yellow Book Magazine which begins in 1994, if Wilde's novel is from the 1990s, the reference to the "yellow book" in Wilde's novel is in fact to the Huysmans novel written in 1984 in France." I'm presuming the references to 19xx are 18xx.

I've added an Original Research warning banner for the section. —Tom Morris (talk) 21:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
