Hi Alison,

I collect Libbey glass! And I also appraise art books donated to our library.
I would be happy to see if your seller's price "jives" with fair market value.
Just shoot me an e-mail.

Cheers,

Margaret

Hi everyone,
   How might I get a grasp on the worth of a book? 
 
The book in question: http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/3647855
 
I can't find any comparable items currently for sale.  There appear to only be a few copies out there (catalogued anyway).  Only 100 were published, and a few other unique details.
 
Someone is offering to sell it to me.  I do want it for our library.  He has put a specific price on it, but I don't know how to know if it is a reasonable cost or not.  As you can tell, I haven't spent much time buying older or more rare items.
 
Any help?
 
-Alison
