More advice?

[cyrano]

I know I have some bibliophiles on this list. I have about half a dozen old books. (Old meaning over 100 years.) They're not in great condition--given what I read on the web, I would say 'Good' at best. Recgnizable authors in some cases--Dumas, Scott, a collection of Greek mythology by Nathaniel Hawthorne--and I don't know if I should bother shopping them or just put them in the bin with everything else.

If they have isbn numbers, a snap -- type the number straight into the search box at half.com, it will take you right to the page with items for sale so you can see the prices. Easy to do while watching TV.

Older books you have to check on abebooks -- normally for collector's items the store selling them will have a fairly extensive description so you can place if yours is spendy or or a later, cheaper version.
