Hi! I have another book "Mémoires du duc de la Rochefoucauld". It looks like very old and it has gold plated pages! So, can someone help me with cost estimate?
published by Antoine Augustin Renouard in 1817 It was published in two volumes, and 1817 was the original publication date according to this site: http://histoire-bibliophilie.blogspot.com/2014/02/antoine-augustin-renouard-le.html
There seems to be a copy currently listed on eBay France for 40 Euros. It looks to be in better condition than yours. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Memoires-du-Duc-De-La-ROCHEFOUCAULD-1817-TBE-/333297616173
I looked but could not find one...... Good Hunting MOS !! & yes the condition of the OP's book ..with that water damage , & missing Plate ...render it almost valueless , cept for a good read !! Save for the one here...maybe not be the 1st edition...... so maybe there's still some minor vale left to the OP's book !!
Thanks alot! It's not so expensive than I thought... I don't think that it's first edition cause the book was found in suitcase in garage... So, thanks alot for your help and good luck!
in books....age is good.....subject matter.....very good...... not many copies.....extra good.. ... condition......of ultimate importance..
