<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 3547933, member: 1476&quot;]The $2 purchase price would have included postage which was .02¢/oz. at the time.&nbsp; (Without low postage rates, direct mail selling wouldn&#039;t have been possible in the first place.)&nbsp; I am always skeptical of those on-line historical currency converters.&nbsp; I would question the $62 equivalent.&nbsp; Yours was not an expensive book in its time.&nbsp; Just grabbing a quick (later) statistic off the internet...&nbsp; A pound of butter cost .40¢ in 1913.&nbsp; So your book might have had a value equivalent of a couple pounds of butter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
