Question & Answer Series 179 Vademecum Series

Q: Here is a photo i copied from someone else (mine is in better condition, but i am without a camera at the moment). It is a green cover with gold and red on the front. My book has no date, no title, no nothing. It simply says “Poems” and at the bottom says e.a. poe. I know it is from 1897, but that is all i know. Is there a way to get a price for this book? thank you very much!

A: Your 1897 book is from the Vademecum Series (http://henryaltemus.com/series/series179.htm). This series of reprints was published with different covers every year. This is the 1897 cover. It was published in a number of colors. (See below) It originally came in a labeled slip case box. This series’ books generally have little value.
