Charles Monroe Sheldon, What Would Jesus Do 1910s

[ translate ]

"In His Steps "What Would Jesus Do?", by Charles Monroe Sheldon, published by Grosset & Dunlap, undated and no copyright, rare pirated edition, c.1910s.

"In His Steps" is a best-selling book written by Charles Monroe Sheldon. First published in 1896, the fictional book ranks as the 39th best-selling book of all time, along with Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls".

Points of the 1910s printing:
The publisher's address in the catalog at the end of the book is "526 West 26th St., New York". Grosset & Dunlap moved to this building in 1910, moved their editorial offices to 1140 Broadway in 1916, but continued to maintain shipping and warehouse facilities here until 1948.
The titles listed in the catalog were issued by the original publishers in the 1900s-1910s; no titles and no famous G&D series that were published later. Starting as a company specialized on pirated reprints in 1898, Grosset and Dunlap legalized their production in the late 1910s; this particular book has no copyright entry.
