“The present book is an exhibition catalogue, with a detailed record of the literary and semi-literary journals of the century. […] I felt it necessary to publish a new book, which would refer exclusively to the 1889-1954 period, thus covering the history of the literary journals of Thessaloniki. […]

The publication […] contains an extensive introduction that aspires to cover the subject, a general bibliography of the literary journals of the period, a detailed survey of 69 titles, portraits of publishers and editors-in-chief, as well as an index of people and publications […].” (Prologue, p. 7)
