Gemmill 47062 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Sound like they might be worth something to some geek or other. There's a specialist book shop on Grey Street in the town, isn't there (sure I've seen one)? You could take it in there and get them to have a look. Failing that, go on the Antiques Roadshow and give us all a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 I noticed the bidding on them was up to £300 and the reserve was not met, so???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10017 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The best way to valuate your books is having a look at online antiquaries like abebooks.com. Having just a quick glance the 2nd edition from 1966 is sold for around $ 2,000. If you have one of them it might in fact be worth a bit. Too bad you don't have the first edition from 1955 which is sold for around $ 20,000 (the highest price is $ 45,000). There have to be quite a range of rich nerds around...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Looking at that and the condition their in i reckon i could be in the range of anywhere between £500 - £1500 I've got one of the all in one editions as well from 1978 but condition wise it's fucked. Was gonna stick them on E-Bay but having second thoughts now, mightn't be the place for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
