J.J. Rousseau, in french, guestimate?
Hello!
I'm sure this book isn't worth much of anything from the collector's perspective, but I'm also certain that its not just another 5 dollar used book. Its Jean Jacques Rousseau's Les Confessions (in french, not translated) Its a hard cover, with visible signs of wear, but no tears, rips, etc. It was published in 1846 in Paris. I believe that Barbier is the publisher, although he is labeled as editeur. It is illustrated with many vignettes (at least one every 10 pages or so) through out the book "edition illustree" (all of the drawings have been protected with tissue paper, so none are damaged, etc) Really, I'm curious to know 1 how special it is or isnt, and 2 how much I did (or hopefully, didnt) over pay for it. Any input would be great!! Thanks, LeeAnna |

Remember these are asking prices, not actual sales. http://used.addall.com/SuperRare/sub...s&st ore=ZVAB Condition matters a lot when determining value. Francis A. Miniter |

Francis A. Miniter Ah don't worry. It's not the most appropriate question, but I'm not so easily scared. Thanks again for the help all. I'll be back, someday, when I have more money to splurge on expensive books :-D LeeAnna |

I'll be back, someday, when I have more money to splurge on expensive books :-D LeeAnna What you want to do is spend _less_ money to get money to get those expensive books - couple dollars for a worthwhile book, for instance. Doing that is a combination of luck, research and hard work (attentiveness to the bargain sales). I, for instance, go at least once a week to some book sale. Many are so-so, but several times a year you get sales that have really, really good books. Take a look at http://www.booksalefinder.com/ for sales near you. For instance, I plan to be at the one in Redding, Connecticut this Friday morning. For first edition information by publisher, the best source is to use WayBack machine (a web site) to pull up the archives from the now defunct AB Bookman website. There is a 34 page listing (in PDF format) of how each publisher designates first editions. Then, too, comparative information on condition and asking price from sites like AddAll.com eventually gives you a reasonable idea of value. Stay around and have fun. Francis A. Miniter |
