Description of the content of the stories:
- Calleja"s Minicuentos basically consist of three types, each containing 300 Cuentos. Each type of story tells the same story, the three types being differentiated by having different drawings, both exterior and interior, in each of the stories.
- We have divided the stories into the following three basic types: Classical, Modernist and Character. In each type of Cuentos, the characteristics outlined above predominate, although there are exceptions in all of them.
- Classic: Front cover with Classic Drawings and different Motifs on the back cover.
- Modernist: Front cover with framed Modernist drawings in plain colours and a border on the back cover.
- Characters: Front cover with Classic Drawings and a Character on the back cover.
- The stories are published by Editorial Saturnino Calleja, S.A. and both the drawings and the texts are by various authors, compiled by the publishing house.
- Numerous editions of the Cuentos were printed by different printers. Despite this, the Cuentos are scarce on the market, making it very difficult to complete any of the collections.

- Front cover with a drawing. Back cover with a Charade. Front cover with a drawing. Fourteen pages, with a header drawing at the beginning of the comic strip and three full-page drawings with a small text at the foot of each drawing. Joke. Back cover with a Riddle.

Conservation and Damage:
- In general the Cuentos are in fair and fatigued condition, with the covers in worse condition than the inner leaves. There are many of them in better condition, and some of them in very good condition.
- Many of the Cuentos have some small tears, are very rusty, dirty, stained and yellowed, with the edges fatigued and deteriorated by light creases and folds, all due to exposure to humidity and the time that has passed, as well as to misuse and poor preservation.
- All the stories have been unbound, with the staples removed because they were badly oxidised, in order to prevent the aforementioned rust from further deteriorating the story.
- Covers have been matched with interiors with the same characteristics, in order to complete the stories. Care has been taken in the details of the
