Evaluating Books - ABAA Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America - Search for Rare, Used and Antiquarian Books. Individuals with old books or manuscripts in their possession often wonder how to ascertain the value of such material. Unfortunately, there is no single reference work or "price guide" which can be relied upon to provide the current values of antiquarian books, nor is there any simple way to explain in a few words how such values are determined. The value of a book is affected by a variety of factors, including the intrinsic importance of the work, its scarcity, and collectors' interest in it. In general, the books most sought after are the great works of fiction, the humanities, and the sciences, usually in the first editions.
The value of a particular copy of any given book will be further affected by many other factors: its condition, its binding, its provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain.The evaluation of manuscript material, including letters and signatures of well-known people, involves still other considerations.

Identify a First Edition Book - guide to first editions.
What is a First Edition? - quite simply, it is the first ever print of a book (after the book proof/advance copy). The book 'Elegance' by Kathleen Tessaro, for instance, had a first printing of 50,000 copies - so there were 50,000 First Edition/First Printings (commonly referred to as a first/first or 1st/1st) of this book. Go to top Why a First Edition? - almost all book collectors are only interested in the First Edition and First Printing (first/first) of a title because it is the first state that the book becomes available in and it will be more difficult to come by as time goes on (many first edition printings are in smaller quantities than subsequent printings). ...a 1st/1st of Terry Pratchett's 'The Colour of Magic' can fetch up to £5,000 a copy, but you cannot buy these in the usual high street book stores... ... instead you will be offered a later printing at the cover price (currently round £14).
