<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MichaelJohn, post: 1571148, member: 13791&quot;]Hey there everyone! This is my first thread so take it easy on me. I’m new to the whole antique and collectible book thing, which is why I’m looking for advice on this book. </p><p><br /></p><p>The book was found at a local thrift store (most of my books are) and when I got home, I flipped through the pages and found a letter inside from the Author that was also hand signed. Along with the letter there was an old life insurance bill and envelope that I’m guessing belonged to the owner. Obviously the bill is unrelated to the book but gives us an idea of who the owner of the book was. The book itself does not have a signature, the binding seems tight, no writing or tears in the pages from what I’ve seen, but the protective cover is a little worn out.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I’m wondering if I found something that could possibly be valuable or if it’s worthless? I did some research on the book and it looks like it’s being sold for like 10 bucks on eBay (that doesn’t mean much because a lot of people sell stuff for cheap that they have no clue about value) but is unsigned. I have no found anyone selling without a signature. This tells me one of two things, either it’s a rare gem, or it’s just a book that nobody cares about. My guess is that it is related to what the letter says about them not being able to afford advertisement in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know your educated guesses!
