Q: Hi, I have the book in the attachment (Kept for the Master’s Use). I am going to sell it on eBay for a client and I want to have an accurate listing. I have not found this cover in any of the images that I have researched. I believe that it is probably from the Nouvue series but I have found no date in the book. I would appreciate any information that you can give me. Is this book scarce?
A: Your book is from the Devotional Series.
It was originally sold with a labeled box in the 1901-1904 era.
Interestingly, this format has been seen with different appliqué pictures within the front cover decorative design. Examples are shown below.
Although the exact title in this exact format is uncommonly found, it is also not a title that is hard to find in numerous formats and it is not a book that is in great demand.
