Question & Answer Series 180

Q: I am wondering if this is a first edition and its approximate value.
Thank you so much for your time.

Weird Tales by Edgar Allen Poe
Illustrated
Henry Altemus Company
Copyright 1895 by Henry Altemus
258 pages Excellent condition ( It looks as if the book was never read)

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series which is a series of reprints. Your book is not a first edition. Altemus published no Poe first editions. This book was published in 1903. During this year the cover came in a number of colors with one of more than 40 illustrations. See http://henryaltemus.com/vademecum.htm for information.
