Q: I have had this book since 1977, and would like to know its monetary value please. Thank you. Copyright is 1900 by the Henry Altemus Company, Philadelphia. The Voyage of the Mary Adair

A: Your book is part of the Dainty Series.

This series was published between 1899 and 1909 and had five different formats. This book is part of the 5th format and therefore it was published at the end of this series’ run in 1909. Without a dust jacket this book has little value.

Even the earlier editions in jacket do not draw much interest. The earlier formats are shown below for interest. Format 1 includes only Volume 1 of this series- thus, there is no format 1 for this book as it is #6 in the series.

Format 2 (1900-1902)

Format 3 (1903-1905)

Format 4 (1906-1908)
