Israel Hayim Pollack, 1885-1945 wrote many Hebrew language and Humash text books Published by Hebrew Publishing Company of New York. They were frequently published with many different covers, but minor changes to the text. I have at least 15 in my collection. None were published in Dorchester, MA. One reason I collection these books is the low cost of entry. I don't think that I paid more than 50 cents for any volume. Most of the time people are glad to give them away to me without payment. Without the title your description is wanting. However, the value is what people are willing to pay. There is no market for used Hebrew texts. The value of your item is only sentimental, not monetary.
