<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McAdder, post: 4264365, member: 7942&quot;]I have been collecting bibles for over 20 years now, I started with bibles like yours and moved on to older&nbsp; and illustrated ones when I could afford them.</p><p>Please be careful with valuations. A specialist will likely charge more than the book is worth and there is no quarantee that you can sell the bible for the price. And its probable that you get higher evaluation because nobody wants to charge 100$ for the valuation of a 50$ bible. Usually I would suggest to get a valuation at a book&nbsp; auction house, but just like the dealer you mentioned most will say its to young and to cheap for a sale at auction and will not invest the time to research the handwriting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the &quot;Entered at Stationers Hall&quot; was printed with the bible, I see no reason why someone would stamp handwriten annotations in a bible.&nbsp; The preface mentions not only experts but also clergymen and students. This could be the bible of someome who went to bible study every week and wrote down what the teacher said, or of a pious man/woman who wrote in the bible what he/she read in other books. Even if the annotations were written by a scholar or expert, most of them are forgotten today and therefore its hard to find someone who would be willing to pay more for it than for a plain bible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
