Q: I discovered this book (Black Beauty) and was wondering if it has any value. There are some condition issues and I would like to know if it would be worth restoring. Thanks.

A: Your book is part of the La Belle Fleur Series and was published in 1901.

All the books in this publisher’s series are reprints.

The books in this series originally came with dust jackets. An example is shown.

Because of the poor condition, it has no monetary value. It would not be worth the money to restore it.
