Q: I am seeking information on the publishing date of a book that was published by your company. It is Poems Volume 1, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and I have attached two pictures of the book.
I appreciate any information you can give me. Also, as you can see on the front cover, there seems to be some sort of black substance. Do you have any recommendations for getting this off the cover?

A: Your book can be found here with the 1898 books. http://henryaltemus.com/series/series179.htm

I do not know how to remove the black substance.
