Q: Hello – I came across this among the many books (some going back to the 1600s) in my father in laws house. Thought you could advise on if this was of value. Print date says 1895, front cover sheet is inscribed as a Xmas gift in 1899. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

A: This book is part of the Vademecum Series.
It was published in 1898 and originally came within a labeled box. The 1898 books were seen with various cover colors. See below.

All of the books in this series are reprints and thus unless the title is a special one and widely collected, the book has little value.
