Question

a christmas carol
I have a copy of Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol," published by the Henry Altemus Company.  Can you identify when it was published and if it has any value?  I have attached a picture.
Thanks!!

Answer
Hi,

Your book was published as part of the Petit Trianon Series in 1908-1909. For more information about this series you can look at
http://henryaltemus.com/series/series143.htm . Originally this book came in a labeled box.

Unfortunately it has only nominal value.
