This page is about the literary journal. For other uses, see yellow book (disambiguation).
The Yellow Book, published from 1894 to 1897 by John Lane, and edited by Henry Harland, was an important literary periodical that lent its name to the "Yellow" 1890s.
It was the leading journal of BritishAestheticism; Aubrey Beardsley was its first art director, and had the idea of the yellow cover; he brought in works by Walter Sickert and Wilson Steer. The literary content was no less distinguished; authors found within its pages during the brief years of its existence include:
Though Oscar Wilde never published anything within its pages, it was linked to him because Wilde had used Beardsley as the illustrator for his Salomé, and was on friendly terms with many of the contributors. The publication was deemed tainted by association with Wilde after his notorious trials, and ceased publication after his conviction.
The CD-ROM YellowBook standard was established in 1985 by Sony and Philips.
The contents of a CD-R may be in logical CD-ROM format (YellowBook) but the disc itself is physically a CD-R (Orange Book).
Consumer rights advocates are as of October 2001 pushing to require warning labels on compact discs that do not conform to the official Compact Disc Digital Audio standard (often called the Red Book) to inform consumers of which discs do not permit full fair use of their content.
