The value of old books.

[bykimbo]

Yes, wizbooks, that's the one I use, too. Bookfinder.com is one of the best.

To the OP: Can you tell us what the name of this book is along with date of publication? Maybe one of us could help you locate a comparable value...just a thot!

He already did in post 5 - that's how I know I don't know nuffink.

If I were you I'd forget online valuing, if it's not there, it's not there and there is no way you are going to be able to guess.

You need to get in contact with some real auctioneers, like Bonhams or Bloomsbury Auctions (Bloomsbury are specialists in books and manuscripts), they will let you know if your book is worth anything (or nothing - you'd be surprised how little some very old books are worth), they can also sell it for you to collectors who will pay well for the right book.

Thanks, Salus, I have emailed Bloomsbury, let's see what happens.
It will make my day if it can sell at anything more than a tenner

Hi, there are two listed on ABE. One with an asking price of £69 and one for £330 approx. Quite a range!

It looks as though I was being too specific when looking up the title - there is a number of variations. That's the trouble when it's in Latin. I learn something new every day.
