Q: I have a copy of this book and can’t find a picture of it on your site or on ebay or amazon. The book is approximately 4 x 6 and appears the be leather bound. It is a greenish maybe teal color cover it has a small picture in the center with a three story maybe store front with a awning over one door or window. It does not have a copy write date in it The third page is a picture it reads at bottom see page 15. the next page is green and red top-John Bunyan middle-The Pilgrim’s Progress bottom-Philadelphia Henry Altemus Company. Any idea how I can find out the value I can’t find anything to compare it to.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series. It was published in 1907.

In 1907, the Vademecum Series had the cover pattern of your book with one of more than forty possible pictures within the cover decoration.

If you look at the Vademecum site (http://henryaltemus.com/vademecum.htm), you will see that your book’s picture is #9 and the book cover is shown as a 1907 cover.

Because this title is a reprint and your book is in poor shape, it probably has no value.
