I recently purchased a book, "The Last Of The Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper from the Surrey Press, New York. The book is old and I really like the story. This book has no copyright nor does it have any dates of the printing. No pages are missing. How can I tell the publish date of a book like this??

Is it dark blue cloth cover, with @ 428 pages to the book.

There were many made from 1920 to 1940 with no dates from my understanding. Current value vaies with condition, but average is about 20 to 25 dollars.
