Q: I have attached pictures of a book (A Child’s Life of Christ) I have and am wondering if you have any idea of the value. It looks like, from the description on your website, it is a 1st Edition? Anyway, please take a look and see what you think!

A: Your book is part of The Young People’s Library, Format 1. It was published in 1895. There were two 1895 editions. The earlier one (yours) has only six books listed on the copyright page. Later 1895 editions have a book list that ends with Gulliver’s Travels.

It is not a widely collected title and in average shape it has only nominal value.
