Q: Hi there, We were wondering if is copy of “ THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS” has any value whatsoever? The book is very worn and was given as a gift to Hugh Sefton in 1902 as Christmas present.

A: Ordinarily this title would be sought after because of the highly collectible nature of the Lewis Carroll Alice books. The books from this 19 book series
(Favorite Series for Young People http://henryaltemus.com/series/series87.htm) are much less common than those from the Young People’s Library and those books frequently sell for more than $50.

Unfortunately because your book is in such poor condition, only a novice book collector would pay more than a few dollars for it.
