Antique Book
How much do you think this antique book is worth?
It’s called “The Prevention and Cure of Disease.”
Author – Napheys, written 1871. First edition. All the pages are here but a few of the blank ones at the very beginning and very end are coming loose.
Here are some pictures:

How much do you think this is worth?
Fortunately for you, how about a range between $150 to just over $300? Sounds attractive, doesn’t it?
I have provided a link below to AbeBooks and your book and the evaluations that have been made on it.
The actual prices are given in British Pounds £ – I looked up the exchange rate on Google and calculated at £1 = $1.6032
Good luck!
PS Tiny Wrewolf’s original estimate was no more than $20 because the book was not rare.
The amendment of that opinion is far more accurate, with one exception, ‘some poor sucker’?
One might be left with the impression that books are not that important or, lamentably, someone might get conned.
Tut, tut, tut!!!

All American 921 21-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner $199.99 This heavy-duty pressure cooker’s large capacity is probably best utilized for canning (though it would also be great for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the … |

Dances With Wolves [VHS] $0.01 Kevin Costner’s 1990 epic won a bundle of Oscars for a moving, engrossing story of a white soldier (Costner) who singlehandedly mans a post in the 1870 Dakotas, and becomes a part of the Lakota Sioux community who live nearby. The film may not be a masterpiece, but it is far more than the sum of good intentions. The characters are strong, the development of relationships is both ambitious and care… |

Crimson Tide [VHS] $0.97 In the typical Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer mold (the partnership yielded Top Gun and Days of Thunder, among many other films), this 1995 drama is a combination of one-dimensional but enjoyable performances, lots of high-tech nonsense taking place onscreen, and mechanistic movie-making at its loudest and most seizure-inducing. Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington play nuclear submarine officers squ… |
