Q: I have this little book called “The Greatest Thing in the World” by Henry Drummond. Printed in Philadelphia by Henry Altemus Company. It doesn’t have a date or anything else like that. I was just wondering when this book might have been published and what the value of it is. I am trying to send you a picture of it. It is dark green, 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ with gold writing on it. It is hard to see the writing on it, but that is what it is. It also has a picture of Henry Drummond in it.
I was just wondering if you could tell me something about it.
Thanks
A: Your book is part of the Classics Series. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series69.htm
It was published between 1907- ca.1909. It originally had a dust jacket.
Without the dust jacket it has only nominal value.
