1896 cook book

[jerseyben]

Picked up this trashed cook book today.

It is from 1896 titled, "Ladies Home Cook Book" by Marion Harland.

Any idea if it is even worth anything in this horrible condition?

Id say right around 5 bucks or so.

Well, thats the last time I buy books for resale.

I'd say you may be able to get a little more than that. Not much but a little.

Put it on fleebay see what you get. Start with a price where you will break even with cost, fees and shipping.

I use to sell a lot of books on ebay and I just used the title date and author. 1896 Ladies Home Cook Book, M. Harland, HC for Hard Cover or SC for softcover or paperback. Book buyers are very picky so describe the condition the best you can. List everything that is wrong with it. Do not say - book is in good condition for its age -.
