RE: [ha-Safran]: A very old book
Hello, Sylvia-- I suggest you contact a dealer who is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America. They have a high reputation and hold their members to a strict code of ethics. You can see their website at http://www.abaa.org/books/abaa/index.html?showsub=1 You can search their database of members from the website asking it to break down the list for you according to geographical region and specialization. In the case of your piece, I think it would make a lot of difference as to whether it was published in Germany or in America. Also, the general subject area would make a difference. German Americana (especially from the 18th century) is a big collecting interest for some. It also helps if you can combine two or more collecting interests in the piece, i.e. not just German Americana but local history and or elementary textbooks for example. Beyond that condition is important, and of course, provenance, or ownership history. Have fun with this!

RE: [ha-Safran]: A very old book
The best source I have found for this is to try local antique shops or (even better) a used book dealer - you may need to hunt around to find one that is competent to evaluate old books (instead of recycling paperbacks). I know Powell books in Chicago is pretty good, but I don't think they do anything but book-in-hand evaluations -James Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
