This series of five books was published from 1906 into the 1930’s. It can be extremely hard to determine which are the earlier books and which are the later books especially if there is no dust jacket. Since I am adding some new pictures this series page today (http://henryaltemus.com/series/series199.htm), I thought this would be a good opportunity to review these books and their editions.

Each book was published in one of three editions.
First edition:
There is a full page cover paste-on (applique) which is surrounded by a green line. The frontispiece is on grey paper.

 |
Second edition:
The cover illustration is drawn on the book cover cloth. There is no paste-on. Frontispiece is on white paper.
 |
 |
 |
Third edition:
There is a full cover applique without a green line border. The frontispiece is on white paper. It says “Printed in the United States of America” at the base of the copyright page. This latter point indicates a post-1922 publication.
