Question & Answer Series 79 Esperance Series

Q: Hello, I picked up this book years ago and was trying to research it. I came across your excellent website but couldn’t find information about this particular type of binding, which is brushed suede or leather. The title is “The Beauty of a Life of Service” by Rev. Phillips Brooks. The copyright date is 1896. The book binding has come apart, so it probably has no value in this condition.

Any information would be appreciated.

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

Question & Answer Series 180 Vademecum Series

Q: I have two questions about the book, Evangeline and Other Poems, that is pictured on the attachment. One, is it part of the Valdemecum #180 or Petit Trianon #143 series? Its size is 6 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches. It was received as a gift by the former owner in 1903. It was published by Henry Altemus Company. Second, what are the name(s) of the flowers on the cover?

I have visited your website and thank you for providing such good information on Henry Altemus books.

A: Your book is part of the Vademecum Series and was published in 1904. On the webpage you can see books that have the same cover format in the 1904 pictures.

Your flowers match the Iris pictures. Of course, I wouldn’t know an iris from a dandelion but years ago a flower expert identified all of the Altemus cover flowers for me.
