Quick! Vintage Twain & Dickens question

[swimmermom3]

Dh is at an estate sale. Vintage Dickens and Twain books available. Big sets nothing later than 1920. Some no copyright. Moby Dick - glorious illustrations. $2 each. I am looking at pictures sent from his Iphone.

 

Do I want these? If they are abridged or some other deal, will I be able to unload them?

I would buy them if you wanted them for your collection. I wouldn't buy them if you expect to make mega money off of them. There are so many things that go into the price for things like this.

I would buy them simply because I love vintage books. I have no idea if you'd be able to sell them or make money off of them.

I agree. I have a lot ov vintge books. I don't have them because I want to make money. I have them because I love books!

I had no intent of making any money off them. Hardbacks are getting so expensive for our permanent collection that I do keep a look out. But some times older versions are problematic for school. Dh is going to bring home one or two volumes from both collections and I can take a look.

 

I love vintage books, but the majority of my books need to be usable too.
