Vintage Hardcover Book
« on: February 09, 2015, 11:49:34 pm »
Recently I've obtained a few items from my grandmother, this vintage hardcover book is one of them.

What I know:
  • It's copyrighted 1899
  • Mrs. E. Prentiss is the author
  • Published by New York: Hurst & Company, Publishers
  • It's titled 'Stepping Heavenward'

Any additional information is appreciated, I'm curious of the value.


Out with the new, in with the old.

Searched Amazon and I couldn't find it, does it feature the woman depicted on the front cover? After doing a Google Image search I can't find one similar.  ???

Thanks for the link, any suggestions on what price I should start it off at auction on eBay?
