Q: Hi, Can you tell me if this book is rare? I can’t find it anywhere. It’s in really good condition. It’s Silas Marner by George Eliot. 1899. Please see the photos attached and I’d appreciate any information you can provide.

A: Although your book is not rare, finding it in nice shape with the original labeled box is very uncommon.

See: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series143.htm. If you scroll down you can see some of the variants of the 1899 format you have.
