Q: Hello, I have a book (Line Upon Line) published by Altemus that I would like to sell. It was left in an apartment unit I’ve been cleaning by the previous tenant who just turned 101 years old. Can you help me find the value? I’m attaching photos, as well.

Thanks very much for any help you can provide.

A: Your book was published in 1907 as part of the Petit Trianon Series. It originally came in a labeled box.

This format has been seen with four different paste-ons (appliqués). Each has a different flower pictured. The other cover formats and a boxed book are shown here for completeness.

It is a reprint and has only nominal value.
