Antique book appraiser

[ecufix]

Doing an on line search for an appraiser is rather frustrating , any suggestions as to where I could get the value of John Bunyan's Pilgrims progress , printed in 1682 , thanks , regards

from an antique book dealer. any you find online won't be reliable as any dealer worth his salt needs to see the book in question to authenticate etc

Thanks Shady I agree that an appraiser would have to see the book to appraise it , I just became very exited when the missus mentioned that she was googling and came up with a figure of 23k pounds .The missus claims that this book that she has had now for a few years is a first edition that was printed in 1682 .

That figure would be about right for an original.

A word of warning though. There are also facsimile editions(exact copies) out there.

Best of luck, but as Shady advised, avoid the internet.

They did not have and use isbn numbers in 1682

Now that you have posted your first post you should be able to download , The idea is to post in the relevant section relating to your interest , for eg this could have been posted on general chat rather than on a thread with the subject being antique books
