You can easily find a value by searching the link below, which is AbeBooks. Enter the book title or author and search. You can sort the search results in various ways, 'Prices High to Low,' or 'Low to High,' etc. There are some good book dealers and a community forum which will help you identify the value of your book. However, see that this is a rough guide only, and that for a valuable book you will need to send the book to a dealer, or locate a local dealer to take the book to. The estimate will generally be free, and AbeBooks can help you locate a dealer.

An older book must meet certain criteria in order to be worth top dollar, and two copies of a similar title that appear identical to most people can have vastly different values due to the following: Is the spine intact? Are there inscriptions inside, like a previous owner's name? Is there foxing? Brown spots or pages? If it is illustrated, all the plates or sketches must be in the book. Is the book a 1st edition or part of a volume of 54 books in a set? You can also call your local library and ask the librarian to get a contact number of an antiquarian book dealer to examine your book in person.
