<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffM333, post: 2259801, member: 15311&quot;]Hello -</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been going through many old family items including some of the books.&nbsp; Usually I can find a little history and get a sense of value by just spending a few minutes online searching and perusing the various book sites.&nbsp; I could have missed it, but I haven&#039;t been able to find any examples of this particular book being listed or previously sold.&nbsp; I did find a few postings various places on the publisher (F. M. Lupton) and being able to approximately-date the book based on the address listed for the publisher in the book.&nbsp; (In this example my great grandfather signed it and it is dated Dec 25 1892 so that helps quite a bit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any more clues to the history of this publisher or the rarity (or lack thereof) of this edition?&nbsp; The front cover has &quot;Avon Edition&quot; inscribed on it.&nbsp; I was able to find a handful of other pieces of classic literature printed by this publisher in this timeframe that have similar art and the &quot;Avon Edition&quot; printed on it.&nbsp; Anyone know what an &quot;Avon Edition&quot; is or the history of this publisher using the term?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Jeff</p><p>[ATTACH=full]256692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]256696[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
