Does anyone have experience I have four books I bought at
a library book sale and I
think they are worth
something:
"Christmas Carol: Cricket on
the Hearth", Dickens,
hardcover, signed,
Haughton/Mifflin Co., 1893. In
good condition.
"Last of the Mohicans", A
Narrative of 1757 by J.
Finemore Cooper, Hurst & Co.,
NY., hardcover. In worn
condition.
"Mixed Pickles", E.M. Field,
1900, Henry Altenus Co. Good
condition.
"Keziah Coffin", Joseph C.
Lincoln, 1909, D. Appelton &
Co., NY and London MCMIX. Good
condition

go to www.abebooks.com where you can fill in the search engine with author, title date, etc. you should get a list of copies for sale. Say there are 10 copies for sale. Look at the one in the middle (the fifth copy). that would be your estimate of its worth. I just looked up "Mixed Pickles" for you. It's worth about $10.00 but the signed Dickens should be worth a lot more |

Old books are not neccessarily valuable.If your books are first editions,then yes they may fetch a good price. Remember thousands of books were printed,and because your books look old,it doesn't mean they are so.But why don't you log onto E-bay? They have sections for sale including books. You may find you have something special. Good Luck! |
