Q: I would like to know something about this book (A Christmas Carol) if you could help. The first 4 pages are missing so I have know idea the year it was published, and can’t find one to compare it to.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

A: Your book is part of the Boys and Girls Classics Series.

This book style was published between 1899 and 1906 and originally came within a labeled box.

Your book can be dated rather accurately by looking at the ads in the back of the book and checking the dating information on the series page noted above.

As you know this title is a late reprint as the first edition was published in 1844.
