Q: A friend has a what seems to be a Late 1895 Edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. We are interested in the current value. Can you help her or suggest who can? Please see the attach photos.

A: Your book is part of the first format of the Young People’s Library. It was clearly published in 1895 as is noted at the base of the title page. The earlier 1895 books have a different list of books in the front advertisements. It list six books not eight as in the later 1895 ad.

There is no price guide and “experts on price” are suspect. I have seen this book sell for as much as $125 and for as little as $10 (in similar conditions). No rhyme or reason.
