Leatherbound Dickens 1909
Hi
I am new to the group, but have a question on a set of books that I have. They are by Dickens, leather bound. The publisher is Thomas Nelson & Sons, London, Edinburgh and NY, 1909. One of the books in the collection is American Notes, Etc. If anyone can tell me anything about these books, I would love to hear it. Thanks, Geri |

One of the books in the collection is American Notes, Etc. OK, post your question here. If you are inquiring about the current worth of these books, be advised: (a) Market price is determined by supply and demand; (b) The supply of printed works by the most popular authors (e.g. Dickens) is abundant. (c) Leather-bound books in near-perfect condition are worth more than cloth-bound books in near-perfect condition. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

They would make great fuel if you run out of logs for your woodstove this winter. |

It would depend a lot on the condition of the books and whether the set is complete. A complete leather-bound set in good condition is a pleasure to own and a pleasure to read.
