Free old books.

[jnicholes]

Hello,

So, I went to the place that my brother picked up the 1730's book I mentioned earlier. I found some books from 1890. 3 to be exact.



I have no idea why they were in the free pile.

Pretty cool finds could be worth some mone look through all the pages never know what someone put in there

They were in the free pile because they couldnt sell them. Age does not equal desire, nor value. I've seen plenty of 100+ year old books go to shredders. Even though somebody, somewhere will eventually want to buy whatever 1800s book, businesses dont want to have them laying around, taking up space that a selling book could occupy.

Cool find, Karl Marx, the author of the communist manifesto?

Nice finds! Always good to take anyway and examine more closely later.

I'd take any books they are offering given what's come out of there thus far.
Nice score!

Wow! This could actually be a BANNER find. I'll throw my vote in, it's treasure and it doesn't matter where treasure comes from sometimes!
