Question i have found a mother goose rhymes book by the henry altemus company. it was in a 1959 vw bug i pulled out of a old barn in north carolina.i have looked around on the net but have not found any info. it has a witch on the cover and reads (three hundred and fifty illustrations) and is in very good shape for a old book. i was wondering if it is rare and if it has any value. please help. thank you.
Answer Hi. Without seeing your book I can only guess that it is the book shown on this page: http://henryaltemus.com/images/NS_98.jpg.
It is a nice book but of limited value.
Without a dust jacket in decent condition you might get up to $25 (with luck). With a dust jacket considerably more. If this is not your book, email me at the henryaltemus.com site.
