I need to know the value of a book.


Question Posted Thursday February 2 2006, 11:26 am

I recently found a 2 books in my library.
I probably have them from my grandparents, but i didn`t know about them.
A friend (the same one that directed me to this site) told me they might be valuable.
The books are:
1. "Pe culmile disperarii" (On the Heights of Despair), Bucharest, "Fundatia regala pt. Literatura si arta" publishers, 1934.
2. "Cartea amagirilor" (The book of deceptions), "Cugetarea" publishers,
Bucharest, 1936
Both books are in romanian and are the first editions of the philosopher`s first books.
I`m really curious how much they`re worth.
Can you help me out?

Look on ebay. I bet you'll get a good idea. DON'T SELL THEM AFTER THAT, THOUGH. Get them appraised first, just to be sure.

I would suggest doing a little online research to get an idea of their value. A couple links for you to try.

You can also try to locate a rare book dealer to get an appraisal. You can find them by checking your local phone book or visiting [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) to search for a bookseller in your area. While on the ABAA website, you may also want to check out the "For Collectors" tab. It has loads of information on how to evaluate your books and how to find the value.

I would bring them to a book collector/antique store to be evaluated. Check your local phone book.
