Q: I am trying to find out a bit more about this book, The Scarlet Letter. It must have been printed in 1899 as the copyright says 1899 and the inscription is dated New Years 1900. Any info you can provide would be lovely!
A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1899.
It originally came within a labeled box.
