Q: I was wondering if you would know how much these books were worth (general ball park). The Swiss family Robinson was copyright in 1900 by Henry Altemus.
The Gulliver’s Travels copyright in 1899 by Henry Altemus.
If you could help I would appreciate it. Thank you.
A: Both of these books are part of the One Syllable Series. This 12 book series had four formats and this is format #2. The format 3 books were published between 1900 and 1908. They originally came with a dust jacket. (See Below) In mediocre condition without a dust jacket they only have nominal value.
Below are the pictures of the four formats for Gulliver Travels.
Format 1 | Format 2 | Format 3 | Format 4 | |
