Q: Hi There, This book was a gift to my great grandmother by a friend. My grandmother had it among her things when she passed. I’m wondering if you have information on it, as I couldn’t find any photo’s that were the same as this one. I’m sure it was probably given to her in the late 1800’s or very early 1900’s. I’m also wondering if it has some value? Thanks for your time!

A: Your book was published in 1899 as part of the Vademecum Series.

This 1899 format has been seen with numerous cover colors (examples below) and originally was sold within a labeled box.

All of the titles in this series are reprints so the books of this series have only nominal value unless the title is a valued one. Unfortunately this is not the case with Bryant’s Poems. It will be a hard sell at any price.
