i normally steer away from these snippet collection type of books...this one was too charming to pass up! the endpapers alone were worth it...and it is rather uplifting. my favorite quote in the book?

I was happy to run across your little book as I too have a copy. Mine is a hardback and has the original box it came in. The end papers match the pretty bouquet on the front. It also lists a copyright date of 1913 in addition to the 1916 date. No tears or dog ears...how much do you suppose these little books are worth? They sold for 60 cents when new.
Again thank you! Sheralyn
hi sheralyn,
ooh an original box...that must be lovely! i would estimate this book at around $25 - $30 in pristine condition without the box. so i'm thinking $30 - $40 with the box (at the high end). thanks for visiting!
