A Book By Its Cover Rare and Used Books

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately I don't handle very many children's books. I will have to pass on the Hansel and Gretel book. Best wishes, Michael Johmann for A Book By Its Cover.

Yes, quite a bit! What kinds of British history are you looking for?

Thanks for your question. Shakespeare is, along with the Bible, Dickens and Lord Byron, the most frequently reprinted author of the 19th century, so in general many copies of Shakespeare from the 1800s are available even today. As an odd volume from a larger set, the volume probably would not have a great deal of value. However, if you, want you can send me some pictures of the book and I can determine what you have. Send the pics as text messages to 502-459-2449. Best wishes, Michael Johmann.

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, no one in Louisville is a rebinder these days. You might be able to find one in Cincinnati.

Thanks for your question. Yes, many classic books were later rewritten for younger readers around the end of the 19th century. In terms of retail value, however, there really aren't many collectors looking for such books, since they are not first editions and the rewrite isn't even by the original author. I would put the value at $10 or less. It's odd to think that a book over 100 years old isn't worth more than $10 but you need to remember that millions and millions of books from the late 1800s are still sitting on shelves around the world. Only a few have any significant collector value. Best wishes, Michael Johmann for A Book By Its Cover.
