Alice in Wonderland
I recently received Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated by John Tenniel and published by M.A Donohue and Company 1904 I would like to learn more about the value of this book, if anyone is willing to share any information about it I would sure appreciate it. The overall condition of the book is alright, apart from the spine being unglued on the one side of the book. Thanks in advance. |

Donohue was primarily a publisher of inexpensive hardcover reprints of classics and one-time bestsellers. Consequently, their books don't have much resale value.

I always wondered what my copy of "Tolstoi's Love Letters" from the Hogarth Press of Leonard and Virginia Woolf, 1923, was worth. Now I know ... $150 US. Only took me thirty seconds. |

Only took me thirty seconds. Presumably the $150 is a dealer's asking price. Prepare for a big disappointment if you expect a dealer to give you anywhere near $150 for yours. They may well want to quibble about the finer points of condition as well. Yes, I would assume as much. The secondhand dealer here in Halifax that I frequent most often, Schooner Books, used to pay half what they would price the books for on their shelves -- and my understanding is that they are unusually generous. I suppose if they buy in lots reather than individual titles, they would pay a much lower percentage of their selling price. Still if my Tolstoy sells for $150 I'm happy, since I only paid ten dollars for it. It's in pretty good condition. |
