Q: I am attaching a picture of a book (Swiss Family Robinson) and I am trying to determine the publish date. Also if there is any info on the value. Thanks in advance.

A: Your book is part of the Ever New Books for Young People Series. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series82.htm This 16 book series was published in 1915 and originally came with a dust jacket. Although this series’ books look like books from the Young People’s Library, they are slightly larger and have the little horizontal squiggle at the bottom of the cover.

These books are hard to find but scarcity has not helped their value. Without a dust jacket they seldom sell for more than $10-15.
