Hi all! Several people requested a hit on what I learned, so here goes. A great big thank you to all who took the time to share your knowledge with me. I appreciate your time and efforts. Thanks again! Some general guidelines: If the books are signed by someone famous, they are worth more. Many of the Bibles and educations texts have little value. A lot depends on the condition of the book Some hints for searching for prices and selling Book companies sometimes advertise in the newspaper and could probably do appraisals E-bay is always an option for both pricing and selling Sites http://www.abe.books.com http://www.bookfinder.com http://www.amazon.com www.ebay.com These are some of the most recommended sites for pricing and publication information This site has lots of out-of-print and antique books for sale - it can give you some idea of what some of them may be worth - or even a lead to a place in your area where you could take the books for an estimate of worth. http://www.alibris.com/ By far the best source of info on old books I have found is www.addall.com Go to the used and out of print section. It searches numerous dealers large and small all in one search. Pay close attention to specific information about the books you are evaluating. Many books came out in multiple editions and formats, even were published by different publishers. All of those things, as well as condition, can make a huge difference in the value of the book. The last highly recommended site was www.abebooks.com . It gives a good place to start for book info.
