It is a First US Edition

Category

Medium
Hardcover made of black cloth and the Lettering is Red.

Distinguishing marks
Pages hace some yellowing and they are fragile. No pages are coming out it is just a old book that has been handled and moved around a lot over the yrears.
Condition
Good
Date Period
Copyrighted in 1897
History
First U.S. edition. It was my grandfather's book. He loved to read and I inherited all of his books after he passed away in 2001. I have moved a lot and probably will be moving again soon. I would rather the book be with someone who is a lover of books like my grandfather was and can appreciate it. I do not want it to get lost or damaged moving and like I said I would rather it be with someone who would take care of it if I decide to sell.

$4,000-$5,000

Not much info there but you can see what they sold for.

Re: Antique Book

I added a few more links above. I think yours is a Doubleday Book Club Edition from the 1950’s.

Re: Antique Book

I’m guessing it was like book of the month club. I found something yesterday about Doubleday Book Club Edition. If I can find it again I’ll add it here.
This is the page http://www.tomfolio.com/publishers/BookClubID.html
If it were me I’d email this person and see what they know.
