Q: I recently in the past day acquired a Henry Altemus Company Hard Cover book from a garage sale for .50 Cents. Here are the known specs:
Publisher: Henry Altemus Company – Philadelphia
Title: The Greatest Thing In The World
Author Henry Drummond
From what I can gleam from your website, the book I have may be apart of the ‘Friendship & Love Serie’s or the ‘In His Name Series’, Because it has the Pillar Supporting the Title on the Left and a Flowery cover on the right.
But All I am sure of is that it was published some time after 1901 because of how the Publishers name is indicated.
Herein attached are photos of the Book in Question.
A: Your book is part of the Life of Service Series.
See: http://henryaltemus.com/series/series121.htm
As you can see it is a Format 2 book.
Your book’s format was published from 1915 to about 1924. I cannot narrow any particular book down further unless you have the dust jacket which has some information on the reverse.
