Q: I have this copy of Grimm’s Fairy Tales from 1898 but I have not seen one with this particular cover on-line. I would like to sell it but it’s hard to tell what it’s worth when I haven’t seen another like it. Would you be able to tell me more about it and who I might call to find out its worth? The fabric is quite torn on the binding.

A: Your book is part of the Young People’s Library Format 4.

It is pictured here: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series202F4.htm

It was published between 1923 and 1933. The copyright is not the same as the publication date with your book.

Without the dust jacket it has only nominal value.
