Q: Hello, I have attached a photo of an Altemus copy of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. I have searched for a similar copy in various resources and have looked through your website. There I found numerous copies but did not find an image of this edition. I suspect it is part of the Vademecum Series. Can you provide any additional info on the copy?

A: Your book is part of the Boys and Girls Classics Series.

See: Henry Altemus Company – Boys and Girls Classics (old) Series 58

It is pictured on that page as #88.

Using the chart on that page you can easily date your book.

In my opinion it has nominal value.
