  Subject: [Genealib] Accepting County History Book donations from patrons?


  I have been contacted by a woman from out of town about purchasing 2 county histories that she has had in her family for a number of years.  The info is not for my county, but for the county next to mine. I am interested in the books, but she has no idea what they are worth and seemed interested in having me give her a price.  I am not qualified in the least to assess the value of county histories. Does anyone have a structure they use for pricing historic books or a rule of thumb?

  Thank you,
