<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9914594, member: 8267&quot;]My bookseller partner points out that he has seen somewhat similar examples of mismatched cover and text, with rather sloppy binding, on other inexpensive children&#039;s books from the era. The covers decorated with chromolithographs would have been the most costly part of the books, and the publishers may have wanted to make use of them whether or not they matched the contents. He says the contents are most often collections of stories on various topics, which appears to be the case here. </p><p><br /></p><p>This does not make the book more valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
