What Are Your Old Book Values?

Do you have an old book that you think has value? Monetary that is. Many people find books in attics or at garage sales ... or inherit books from grandmothers, aunts and uncles that are over 100 years old. (Books over 100 years old are commonly called antique books).

It can be very difficult to value a book 100+ years old.

Why is that? Well it can depend on scarcity of the book, demand for it and especially condition. Books before about 1900 didn't have dust jackets. So you don't have that element of the book to analyze.

Very few books survive 100 or more years without stains, bumps, foxing and tears ... even if they were constructed with a good grade of paper and leather or cloth boards.

Each book will have its own set of problems and there will be few to compare it against. Pricing can be somewhat subjective.


So How Do You Find the Value of Your Old Book?

If I had an old book of unknown value I would first visit:

www.abebooks.com

- I use abebooks.com the most because you can enter the year(s) when a book was first released and it will search only for books in this time frame.

(Highly Recommended!!!)

then:

www.abaa.org

or go first to:

www.addall.com

... which searches the above sites plus about 18 other sites. It just doesn't have as many search options as abebooks.com.

Exhausting these possibilities I'd correspond by e-mail with one of the rare book dealers at abaa.org.

And possibly take it in to a dealer for an appraisal (possible cost is $100 for an estimate).

I'd like to invite you to list your old or antique book here. That way many collectors can view and possibly comment on it.

Instructions are shown below.

We're not rare book specialists and can only estimate the value of a book roughly based on what you tell us about it.

I do have a lot of people coming to the site in search of antique or old book values and information. They may have advice for you. Please take a picture of your book.

Transfer the picture to your computer and then go to the proper folder when asked.

Tell us about the book
This information will really help:
1. Author's name
2. Book Title
3. Publisher and Date Published
4. Is this book a first printing?
5. Condition of book? Dustjacket? Condition of boards, spine, text? Pages torn or missing?

Without this basic information we really can't help you very much.

Please make sure you have searched through www.abebooks.com as this is where we will start.

Please, try this first!
