The paper revisits and partly re-elaborates — supplementing it with further insights — the section concerning the “Hoepli case” from the essay authored by the present writer, Between Illustrated Albums and Movable Books: The Publishing Adventures of Lothar Meggendorfer in Italy and the Role of Ulrico Hoepli, published on the occasion of the opening of the first section of the Pop-App Museum and the centenary of the death of Lothar Meggendorfer. The results of the first-hand research conducted on that occasion are presented here in order to reach a broader international audience and to offer a renewed, more systematic and comprehensive perspective on the publisher’s production of movable books (and beyond). At the heart of the article is a catalogue of movable books published by Ulrico Hoepli (1879–1940), reconstructed with particular attention to titles, chronology, and sources.
