[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 212508, member: 25"]Late 19th C mass produced books have little sales appeal unless they are in remarkable condition or somehow or other unusual ( signed, fore-edge painted, ex-libris someone famous, etc.) Strawheaded Peter was a popular German naughty boy figure, huge numbers printed, so quite common. In Germany anyway. I'd not take a great deal of notice of any abebooks listings, they are notoriously optimistic. I'd feel I had done well if I got the equivalent of $10 apiece for them, conditions where you are may vary.[/QUOTE]
