That looks an awful like one my grandparents had. Look real close somewhere on the cover or on the first few pages. It should say repro or a copyright date sometime in the 1970s. Not much value, but I was fascinated by my grandparents'.
Big J : It is hard to tell from the posted picture,if this is not a repro it could be worth $100 or more on a good day.There is a lot of 1900 and 1909 Sears catalogs on e/bay but they are repros selling for $2 up.But once it is sold you probably won't find another one.Don't know if you would run into copyright problems but puting it on on dvd and selling on e/bay would be a good way to go.
That book is obviously a reproduction. But a very interesting read, nonetheless.
Anything printed AFTER 1923 would require permission to reprint/reproduce. As this is an obvious reproduction, which I believe was printed by Crown Publishers printed in 1969, you would need to acquire permission in order to scan and resell any of the interior images. If you could get an ORIGINAL on the other hand ($100+ if you can find one) you could most certainly do anything you wanted with it.
