Q: Through some research online, I finally stumbled upon your website. Hopefully you can help. Over some time I’ve had this book (Uncle Tom’s Cabin) on my shelf and have been trying to find exactly when it was published and if it is of any value. There’s an inscription inside dating back to 1901. I hope that you will have some answers. I attached images of the cover, spine, inscription, and a few illustrations.

A: Your book is part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1901-1902. It was originally published within a labeled box. During this year the lady on the left was published in blue, pink and beige (here). Examples shown below. On the right half of the cover one of sixteen flowers were pictured.
It only has nominal value.
