<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 215194, member: 44&quot;]The 1st editions of Emerson&#039;s Essays were published in 1841-1844 by James Munroe, Boston. If I am seeing correctly, the publishing of these editions was in 1901 (MDCCCCI) by J.M. Dent, Aldine House, London. They aren&#039;t collectors items because not 1st editions. I agree with af, condition is important. It&#039;s a shame that old books today have very little value. I have several passed down to me from the early 1800s and they have very little value on the market today. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie22" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe once allllll the bookstores in the world close shop and all book publishers go out of business in the next 100 or so years, these books will become a rarity and a museum of 1800s-1900s Book Antiquities will be established with Federal funding. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie39" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie40" alt=":depressed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
