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, dictionaries and reference books 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, Craigs List and other retail sites for possibilities. Everything is now online and updated constantly so old books are just that-old.
If it is complete and over 100 years old it has value.
How much it is worth? I saw the listing on ebay at 1900 dollars but there's no bid on it. If there's no interest then I assume it is worthless. Thanks for your reply.
First off, this depends on the year of your books. If they were printed any time before 1917 or 1918, then they have some value. Only books like this that are +100 years old are worth anything right now.
