Q: Greetings, I found this book with my Uncle’s treasured item’s. He was born in 1917 and the book was his mother’s. Wondering if it is worth keeping? Picture of cover and title page below. Also, as an attachment is the signature and date of owner which is inscribed on the page opposite the front cover. The Princess and Maud. Thanks much.

A: Your book is from the Vademecum Series and was published in 1897.

All of the titles in this series are reprints so only a very collectible title has any value. This title is not one of the valuable ones.
In 1897 this format was seen with a number of different color covers. Some are shown below.

This series was originally sold within a label box. See below for an example.
