Many people have old books they think are valuable and would like to sell. Most old dictionaries, references etc., have very little value-a few dollars at most. Encyclopedias dated after 1923 are essentially worthless but crafters may be interested for the old pictures. Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc., receive donations of tons of old encyclopedias but send them to recycling centers or dumps as they cannot use or sell them.

You can check online for old book collectors, on EBay, Craigslist and other retail sites for possibilities. Everything is now online and updated constantly so old books are just that-old.

The set of World Book Encyclopedias my Mom and Dad bought was a gift of Love and an investment in our future! In 1960 dollars they were NOT cheap. After Mom and Dad passed away I made sure I kept the full set to be with me until I can explain their value (Their value "to the Family" is priceless!) to my Grandchildren.

...And see which of my six Grandchildren wishes to show me their insight and depth of thinking skills to request they receive them after my passing!
