Getting Books Appraised
May 2010
I have recently inherited an 107 year old book, original
first edition, which after some minor google
investigating, I think may have some value. Does anyone
know of somewhere to take books to have them appraised?

One way to find out the value of an old book is to go to
http://www.alibris.com
That's an online resource--they sell old and new books, and
have a huge inventory, both their own and from other
sellers. By carefully entering all the information about
your book, including date and edition information (look on
the back of the title page, on most books) and the condition
the book is in, you'll find other copies of similar books
and can get idea of your book's value. If you come up with
NO results (and made no typos)--well, then, you really do
have a ''rare book''.

Moe's on telegraph. Go upstairs, they should be able to do
an appraisal for you. ana
You might also try Serendipity books on University ave. They
sell rare books and first editions. I imagine that, if they
can't appraise it for you, they can refer you to some one
who can.
