<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 6382512, member: 1476"]Signed by the author? Or signed by previous owner? And what are you intending to do with them? Sell what you can and pass on the rest? At a quick glance and speaking generally, old biographies (e.g. Cronin's Napoleon) typically don't have a lot of value because standards of scholarship have changed. Your newer volumes (e.g. Gallico's Snow Goose) don't have dust jackets which effects value. Aunt Judy's Christmas Volumes could be worth something depending on year, completeness and condition. Ditto The Mikado if it's signed by Gilbert.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
