In 1907, Storey published his first book, ''Oxford Herald: A Literary Guide for Social Reformers''. In 1910 he published two collections of poems through the Shelley Book Agency. ''Home Once More and other First Poems'' was dedicated to his wife in the preface dated 7 November 1909 which he wrote whilst at Shelley House in Oxford. The other collection was ''Britannia Poems, Social, Political and Satirical''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Storey, Hedley Vicars )〕 In 1908 Storey along with Cottrell Stephen Frederic Horser (born in 1866) began selling books at 33 High Street Oxford in the shop previously run by James Thornton.
