Q: Could you please tell me the age of this book (Uncle Tom’s Cabin) and how much I would ask for it since I’m trying to sell it? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

A: This book is part of the Vademecum Series (http://www.henryaltemus.com/series/series180.htm) and was published between 1909 and 1912. It was originally sold within a red labeled box.

Although it is a well known title, this edition is a reprint and because of the huge number of reprints available, it only has nominal value.

Shown below is a sample box.
