I have an original hamlet book hand dated November 13, 1900.  Can anyone tell me what this book is worth?

There is nothing written inside the book, the only date in the book is the date it was received by my Great Grandmother.  I think that it is a school book from a drama class or something.  The cover is red leather with texture and a symbol on the front cover in gold of an eagle and armour.  It is in good condition.  A crack on the inside cover, must have been bent outward.

Hello.........I don't show it listed in any reference books. I believe your book was mass produced, probably turn of the century and was probably for schools as such. Not a lot of value $10-15 in good condition. Coming from your great grandmother makes it priceless.......... ....... ;)
