The James–Schreier spaces Vp, where 1 6 p < ∞, were recently introduced by Bird and Laustsen [5] as an amalgamation of James’ quasi-reflexive Banach space on the one hand and Schreier’s Banach space giving a counterexample to the Banach–Saks property on the other. The purpose of this note is to answer some questions left open in [5]. Specifically, we prove that (i) the standard Schauder basis f...
