Because these aren't +100 years old they are almost worthless and people won't buy them. Even if they are vintage, all the information contained in these books is now online and updated all the time.

I saw a set on eBay that the person just wanted to get rid of and they were only asking $1. Then another set the person was asking $45.

For the most part books that arent antiques are worth very little.

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.

They are not worth anything with all the technology we have no one wants them.
