Q: Attached are photos of a Wee Book that I’m interested in selling – inside cover is blue in case it doesn’t come through on the photo.
Can you give me some information. Alice Through the Looking Glass
A: Your book is part of the Wee Books for Wee Folks Series.
The third format (this book) with the appliqué picture on the front cover includes all of the titles in the series. The dust jacket matched the front cover of the book.
There were two Alice books. This one and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Both were published in 1926. The blue endpapers were noted between 1923 and 1926.
These are very collectible books and with a dust jacket could sell for as much as $100. Without, $10-50 is not unreasonable.
This book is much scarcer that the Young People’s Library formats of the same title which are frequently listed for more than $100. (Although they seldom sell for more than a fraction of the listing price).
