Q: I have inherited a copy of the “Hyperion” by Longfellow published by Altemus. I’m interested in finding out its value if any. Please take a look at the pictures I’ve included and contact me if you can help. Thank you.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1900. It is a reprint of a not very collectible title and therefore will be hard to sell.

During 1900 the covers of this format have been seen in numerous colors. Some are shown below.
