Found both of these original books in fairly decent condition in my great grandparents home a few years ago and was curious if anyone had any info on either and perhaps if they are worth any value so the can be properly preserved if so. The first is called A Spectre of Power copyright 1903 hardback and the other is Alfred Lord Tennyson. I could not find any dates and will post better pics if need be. The pages and binding are becoming fragile on this book. Thanks for any and all help. 20150531_172534.jpg 20150531_172609.jpg IMG_20150614_230812.jpg

Im in the same boat ! I got a box full of old books from my Grandmother from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. some are in rough shape , plus I also received a box of old 33s all classical music. I need to find some book/music store to sell them! to much stuff and not enough time to fiddle with it!

Go to Bookfinder.com
If it's available for sale anywhere, it will show up on Bookfinder, with prices.
Bear in mind that any book, no matter how old, is rarely worth anything unless it's in very good condition.
