Q: I also was wondering how can you tell it’s a reprint, it just seems so old, would you know when it was reprinted, I can’t find a year or date on the book anywhere. The Pony Rider Boys in New England. I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a dust jacket, I’ll have to check, and if I do find the dust jacket how much is it valued. Thanks so much for your help. I’m clueless to how this works, just trying to learn. Thanks.

A: Your book was published by Saalfield. That company did reprints of the earlier Altemus published editions. All the Saalfield reprints had dust jackets. This reprint was published in 1935 or later.

Two Saalfield jackets have been seen for this series.
