My favorite resource to use to "guesstimate" values of old or out-of-print books is www.addall.com. Go to the used & out of print section. It is a website that searches through over 40 bookstores, 20,000 dealers! One stop shopping! Since it is a site for book dealers to sell books, it will only include books that are currently for sale, but since it covers so many dealers, it covers millions of books. I have searched it for countless books, and nearly always find them there. It will at least give you the prices the dealers are asking for their books. Hope this helps, Sandy Goodman Melissa ISD District Librarian Melissa, TX Original message pasted in (I use digest mode): Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 15:41:33 -0500 From: "MacArthur, Laura" <lmacarthur@AHACADEMY.COM> Subject: valuing antique books Greetings! I've had a teacher ask for some resources to help her figure out how = much two antique books are worth. She has already tried fadedgiant.net, = alibris.com and a few others she was able to find through Google but = she's not having any luck finding anything about her particular books. = In one case, the book doesn't have an ISBN or even any formal = publication information anywhere in the book, just an inscription dating = the book from 1875. Any suggestions I can pass on for ways to determine = the value of her books? Thanks so much!
