Question & Answer Series 58

Q: YES, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW OLD THIS BOOK (ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND) IS AND MAYBE THE WORTH. IT WAS GIVEN TO MY GRANDMOTHER IN 1902 AS AN AWARD. NOW I HAVE IT.
THANKS FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME.

A: Your book is part of this series http://henryaltemus.com/series/series58.htm.

It was published between 1899- 1902.

The website page above can help you date it exactly.

This book originally came in a labeled box. The Young People’s Library version of Alice is much more commonly seen and generally costs more. But this book is the rarer of the two formats and in my opinion has a much more elegant cover. The cover was designed by the Decorative Designers firm.

It appears to be in nice shape and probably would sell between $10-40.
