Questions about 1896 reprint

I have one of these that was left behind by my grandmother, not sure what year it was reprinted? if anyone has an idea.

condition is decent, theres some minor wear on the front and back, the first half of the pages have some slight bend/creasing in one corner, the map of russia looks totally fine.

mostly just wondering if its sellable or if anyone wants it?

J V,

The Society printed 3.000 of these in 1965.  Of those, 1,600 were put in bound volumes meaning there are 1,400 of these individual copies of the early issues out there.

Thank you for the reply and info! Do people buy these? Or do you have any idea what one could sell for?

J V,

Mel De Vilbiss has an excellent pricing guide for National Geographic.  It includes a section on reprints.
