Q: I can not find any information on this book and its cover. “Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Can you help?

A: This book is part of Series 143 The Petit Trianon Series. Your book can be found here: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series143.htm

It is shown with the 1899 books. The key in identifying this book is the pattern on the left side of the cover. It is characteristic of the 1899 books in this series. There have been numerous right sided cover decorations. Thus far I have seen 24 different patterns. Incidentally, this format originally came in a labeled box.
