Q: I received this book from my grandmother upon her death. I think it is the Vademecum series. The binding is in poor shape, and the last two pages of the book, one is torn and one is loose. There are no dates printed on any page.

If possible, I would like to know the book’s print date and if it is of any monetary value. It is a darling book and is of high sentimental value to me.

A: It is a 1907 book. See http://henryaltemus.com/series/series180.htm

It is part of the Vademecum Series which was a Altemus series of reprints. The covers changed yearly.

It only has nominal value.
