Q: I have a wonderful old book (Walden) and would like to know if you can tell me about it. I don’t even know when it was published. Thank you in advance for any information you may have.

A: Your book can be found here with the 1904 books. http://henryaltemus.com/series/series180.htm

It is part of the Vademecum Series which was a long running series of reprints. Four different paste-on flower patterns have been noted in your book’s format.

This book originally came in a labeled box.

Since it is a reprint of a not very popular title, it has only nominal value.
