Non Series #20- Bible Pictures and Stories

I have seen four cover variants of this title. They all have the exact same title page and copyright page.
 
Three of the books have the same picture on the cover. The differences are the color of the book and whether the volume has gold or silver gilt lettering on the cover and the spine. I am unable to prioritize these editions.
 
The fourth cover with gold gilt and the small picture within a box is a later edition but still pre-1900.
Books with the same title that are in the “Young Folks’ Quarto Series” and “Children’s Gift Series” from the teens have this same cover format.
 

Earlier editions:

Later edition:

Every edition has the same title page.

Non Series #81- Julian the Apostate

Two formats of this book have been seen.
They are identical except for the cover and spine. 
Both were published in 1899 and have the exact same title page.
 
The earlier book has silver gilt lettering and silver gilt on the cover design.
 
The later book replaced all the silver gilt with red coloring.
 
The books’ colors are different. They are shown below.

Question & Answer Series 57 Boys and Girls Classics (New)

Q: I have just today found this on my dusty bookshelf (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland)- I honestly don’t know where it came from, no name or any marks inside. It is gently foxed, and the cover is charming… if it is worth nothing to collectors, I’ll keep it for the sharp text and images (letterpress?) and the excellent scent of history.

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

See: Henry Altemus Company – Boys and Girls Classics (new) Series 57

It is a reprint and was published in the early to mid 1910’s.

It is missing the front cover paste on but in fairness most people would not know.

There are lots of “Alice” collectors and although the cover does not relate directly to Alice, there are still people who might find your book desirable.

Price can be very random. I have seen sales anywhere from $10-50. But sometimes it does not sell at all.

Question & Answer Series #143 Petit Trianon Series

Q: I tried to find a book (The Song of Hiawatha) such as this on your website but was not very successful. There is no date inside the book. In addition to the beauty and sentimentality of the book does it have any monetary worth?

A: Your book is part of the Petit Trianon Series and was published in 1903-1904.

See: http://www.henryaltemus.com/series/series143.htm
