Hello,

I was wondering if someone can help me identify a vintage book set I have acquired. I believe they are from the early 1900's, and the book size are 3 1/2" x 5". There are 32 books in this set and published Knickerbocker. Looks like it is a Shakespeare play?

Thank you Jr

Hello,

sorry, there was a image I was trying to post, but I guess since I am a new member, I am restricted on images. Is there any other way to get images so you can see the set?

This looks to be the set that you are referring to. Abebooks has a few sets in the original wooden box for about $125. I would guess that, since those on Abebooks don't appear to be flying off the shelves, the value should be assumed to be a bit lower. Remember, something is only worth what another person will pay for it.

Hello,

thank you very much for the reply. I have seen that issue, but my covers are all read. Not sure if that makes a difference?

Thanks Jr

Hello,

This is the closest I have found below, but my collections has some different novels than the below link?

Please go to abe books and search (The Complete Works of William Shakespeare : Ariel Edition).

Sorry, for some reason this forum does not allow new posts to include links.

Thanks JR
