Q: Trying to find out the value of the 1915 non series Octavo Edition of Black Beauty. I have attached 2 pictures for you to see its condition.
Also, I am curious to know how many of these books were printed and/or sold.
A: This Black Beauty reprint was published by Altemus in 1915. As opposed to most of the Altemus Black Beauty books, this one is not part of a series.
I have seen this format in this dark blue color as well as an orange cover color. See below:
It originally was published with a dust jacket which I have not seen as of yet. I would estimate this book’s value to be between $15-40 depending on condition. A jacketed book would be worth more.
