The Charles Hamilton companion

I've looked before (here) at bibliographies etc. related to 'old boys books' (story papers like The Gem and The Magnet) and, while I can't possibly start collecting anything else in real life, here on the blog there's always more room on the shelf for volumes like the Charles Hamilton Companion...

The Charles Hamilton companion
volume 1 = A history of the Gem and Magnet
volume 2 = The Greyfriars characters
volume 3 = centenary edition
volume 4 = Schoolgirls' album
volume 5 = Rookwood
volume 6 = The Gem story illustrated
volume 7 = The Christmas stories
volume 8 = The Greyfriars commentary and book of verse



where there more volumes beyond issue 8? Do let me know. I'd also like to run a piece on the publications of the Museum Press. Again, any help on where I can find a list of their publications would be gratefully received.
