Q: I am trying to get more info on a copy of Rip Van Winkle that I have. Your site is an incredible resource and I think I know where the book came from but any help would be appreciated. It is a soft suede like green cover which seems to match the Petit Trianon series 3rd numbering, format 2 but it could also be format 5. Title page says
Philadelphia
Henry Altemus Company

I have attached a copy of the cover below. Any info regarding the books series, year or rarity would be a help to me.

A: Your book is actually part of the Esperance Series and was published between 1905-1909.

See: Henry Altemus Co – Esperance Series 79

It originally had a little ribbon on the cover and was sold within a labeled box.
