Q: Hello, Could you me anything about this book (Milton’s Poems)- age/value? Thank you!

A: Your book was published in 1899 as part of the Marqueterie Series.(http://henryaltemus.com/series/series130.htm) As you can see, the cover is of the Japanese inlaid veneer style. This series consists of 149 titles all of which are reprints.

This publisher’s series was only printed during 1899. Thus, it is one of the more uncommon large Altemus reprint series.

Regardless, the books of this series four the most part have limited value.
