Tissue-Guarded Portrait Frontispiece; ¾ Leather Marbled Boards, All
Marbled Edge, 5 Raised Bands on Spine, Marbled Endpapers, Armorial
Book Plates to Interior Front Board.

I have no idea what this is worth, anyone have a ballpark figure on
it?

Also have a similar book in same condition, published a little ealier
as it was a gift in 1898, called 'All the Russians' - slightly smaller
than the Tennyson tome.

Any help - and I realize it's without seeing them, but they are in
near mint condition, neither has been read, the spine hasn't even seen
the slightest friction - in appraising these and hopefully selling
them would be much appreciated.

Like everything else they are only worth what someone is prepared to pay
for them.

Not thinking of auditioning for the Antiques Roadshow* by any chance
are you?

*UK TV Show. Set up in various locations around the country,
where the public bring along their antiques and collectibles
for appraisal by teams of experts. Their reactions to the
valuations being one of the supposed high points of the show.



Like *Who Wants to Be a Millionaire*, *Antiques Roadshow* is a British
import that has become even more popular in its U.S. incarnation--it is, in
fact, the most popular show on U.S. public television:

I rather like the U.S. version--and don't care for the U.K. version--Erik

There is genuine connoisseurship on the ARS-USA. I was even moved to read
regular appraisers the Keno brothers' book *Hidden Treasures*, which is
nothing but a big series of brags (albeit in the field of early American
furniture) and quite enjoyable:
