Q: I purchased this book today, “Ten Nights in a Bar Room”. Attached is a picture of the cover. I was wondering if I wasted my money? Could you tell me when it was published?
On the third page, a hand written note is as follows:
“Presented to Mr. Oliver Hill by his schoolmates in the Miltore Center Schools Oct. 15, 1901”
Thank you for any info you have.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series. This series is an Altemus publisher’s series of reprints.
It was published in 1900. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series180.htm

Anything more than a few dollars and you spent too much.
