Q: I found a copy of a book published by Henry Altemus Publishing on my mother’s bookshelf. She was an avid reader. She left her books to me.

The title of the book is, “Black Beauty.” I can’t find a publishing date or a Series # to find out its value.

I have attached a copy of the book. I look forward to your input.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1907. It is a reprint.

In this condition, in my opinion, it has no monetary value.
