Last week I posted a question about patrons asking for help finding the value of old books. For PR reasons I don't want to get too involved but want to have somewhere to point them when they come in for information. Following are the responses I received. I sent thanks out individually~ Try looking at alibris: http://www.alibris.com/ It specializes in selling used books and see what it may be selling for - I just did a quick search and it shows some covers that you may be able to match. Try on e-bay; see if anything is being sold there. Without the copyright though, it will be very hard to fix a year. You might try www.loc.gov <http://www.loc.gov> ; see if they have a copyright date for that particular publisher of the book. Then you can see if you can match it up somewhere. Try looking it up on www.abebooks.com <http://www.abebooks.com/> That will give her an idea of what it would sell for on the secondary market and she could guess that she could sell it to them for about one-third of the price listed. -- DaShannon Lovin, Library Media Specialist Blanchester High School Blanchester Local Schools Blanchester, Ohio lovind@blanchester.k12.oh.us -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
