Q: I’ve got a Copy of ‘Tales From Shakespeare’ by Lamb that doesn’t fit the websites information. I would just like to know the actual publication date.

A: This book was published in 1896 as part of the Vademecum Series.

It is clearly shown on the website at http://www.henryaltemus.com/series/series179.htm.

The titles in this series are all reprints and originally were sold within a labeled box. Other color covers have been seen. See below.
