Q: Hello, I recently found this book Evangeline by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published by Henry Altemus and was hoping you could give me more info. I believe the year is 1897. I was also wondering how much it might be worth if anything.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1897. It originally was sold within a labeled box. See example below.

All of the titles in this long running publisher’s series were reprints. This volume only has nominal value.
