Q: Hi, I recently found this book at a local Library book sale (A Child’s Story of the Bible). I really liked the inlay and engravings etc, and with a copyright of 1895, I imagine it has it’s own story. Not that it matters but I was curious that maybe it was worth something? I could not find it online, so I wondered what you make of it. Thank you.

A: Your book is part of the Young People’s Library- Format 1. You can find it shown here http://henryaltemus.com/series/series202F1.htm as #5.

Although it is an early or first edition of this title (check the ads to see which), it is not in the best shape and has little collector interest.

Although sometimes I am quite surprised at the prices that certain books sell for, your book generally would only sell for a few dollars if it sells at all.
