<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 9616235, member: 1476"]Are you sure that's a book mark? With the "No" and the "Yes"? A handsome volume but, unfortunately, in book collecting age doesn't equate to collector interest. Your volume is a (much) later printing of MacPherson's 1790 book. And neither the inscription ("Eustis from Mother") nor this edition's (apparent) scarcity adds to value. Here's the current offering on a used book site to give you an idea of what's available to collectors. (Keep in mind these are asking prices.) The card may well be worth more than the volume. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=macpherson+james&fe=on&sortby=100&tn=poems+ossian&cm_sp=pan-_-srp-_-allb" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=macpherson+james&fe=on&sortby=100&tn=poems+ossian&cm_sp=pan-_-srp-_-allb" rel="nofollow">https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=macpherson+james&fe=on&sortby=100&tn=poems+ossian&cm_sp=pan-_-srp-_-allb</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
