The title was originally The London Mystery Magazine. The "The" dropped off the cover after the fourth issue, from the spine after the 35th issue, but remained on the contents page through the entire run. Although the title was changed to London Mystery Selection with #36, the word "Magazine" appeared on the covers of #s 73, 74, 75 and 81, and on the spine of #s 78 to 87. On the cover the title was given as just London Mystery on #s 36 to 46, 54 to 72, 76 to 80, and 82 to 97. Most issues feature a standard cover design, several of which were used over the life of the magazine. In one stretch, from #70 to 81, individual covers were drawn for most issues. The longest running British mystery magazine, fantasy was a significant part of its mix, rarely less than a third of an issue. A highly collectible, but apparently little known, magazine.

This publication absorbed (or perhaps replaced?) Barry Pain's weekly To-Day, circa July 1905; original format unknown, but in a later incarnation, probably from November 1939, it was a digest-sized monthly magazine resembling Men Only and Lilliput, and it carried some fiction as well as cartoons, humorous squibs, etc.

It absorbed The Humorist in August 1940 and was absorbed by Men Only in 1954.

Had success with a salacious serial by Mrs Smerdon; also published steamy translations of French material by Eugene Sue and Alexandre Dumas. As a cover to all this titillation the journal sub-titled itself "A Journal of Progression in science, literature and all that tends to instruct and amuse the human race." Was a continuation of The Penny Satirist (22-Apr-1837 - 25-Apr-1846).

"The Lone Hand began as an ambitious project, an all-Australian magazine of broad scope and high quality, by the standards of the time. Later in the war years, it declined in value and prestige, and went through changes in policy in the attempt to regain its leading position. It published an amount of early science fiction."
