I also have one

I was given the book by a relative that was ready to dispose of it. The book is signed by Julia F. Paine dated 1891 and was also published by George, Routledge and Sons, Limited. This book is also in somewhat good condition for its age. I wonder how may books are out there and what the value would be. Would anyone know?

Talking book info?

Hello fellow book lovers,
I have a leather bound, Shakspeare's Works, with a picture of a younger Shakspeare with a copy of his signature. It is brown leather with gold edged pages..
It is published by Frederick Warne and co. and both London and New York show around the name. It also says, by the editor of the Chandos Classics and has a logo of a horseshoe and wings " the albion" edition. I would appreciate more info on this well loved book. cheers, Sweetgrass
