Book Value

Many times when working with clients people have insisted to me that because it's old a book is worth a lot of money. They never believe me when I say that just being old does not determine a book's worth.

When I tell them that many recent books are valuable and much of the value lies in the dust jacket they again tell me that I am wrong.

When I explain that condition is extremely important they again tell me that I am wrong.

Well there's an antiquarian book dealer in the Denver area who has a website
www.go-bookworld.com . Go there. He has a section on what determines a book's value and a section on how preserve your book.
