Q: Greetings,
I have a Henry Altemus Company copy of The House of the Seven Gables. It is 4.25″ x 6.25″. I have attached a scan of the cover, but it doesn’t convey the sparkle of the gold in all the lines, text, and four-leafed symbols. Can you tell me what series it is, and how to ascertain its value in the marketplace? I appreciate any help you can provide.

A: Hello,
Your book is part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1908-1909.

It is a reprint and originally came in a box. See below.

It has nominal value. (A couple of dollars).
