1848 Merriam Webster

I hope I'm not misusing this group by mentioning to dictionary
collectors out there that I am offering an original Merriam Webster
dictionary on Ebay this week. I am not a dealer, but an individual who
discovered this rare book in the attic of my house. I apologize in
advance if this sort of post is not welcome here!


Sincerely,

William Allik

You should be using a marketplace group for
your ad. This is forum for people interested
in book collecting. Also, you are stretching
things a bit to say you have an "original".
That 1848 edition is a revised edition.
While in very good condition, you can find
it listed from $200 to several thousand dollars,
it is only "original" in the sense of being "an
original revised edition."
