Ivanhoe 3 by Xavier Myers posted May 27, 2017 at 7:05 PM

I've had two boxes of old books for quite some time now that I haven't had the interest to go through until recently. They are 20-25 books of the Edition De Luxe Waverly Novels By Sir Walter Scott. I would guess the age of the books to be around 1870 or 60. But I'm no expert. Also interestingly all the pages of the books are stuck together at the bottom, except for a copy of Ivanhoe, which someone probably ripped apart to read. They are all labeled number 902/1000. If there is any information or a value that can be assigned please let me know.

 

This appears to be your set, which dates to 1892. Keep in mind this is an asking price, not a sales price.

With a simple google search and 10 seconds looking I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/37-BOOK-SET...SIR-WALTER-SCOTT-1893-HARDCOVER-/152233909463

I'm thinking a partial set of a reprinting that is in a drab binding isn't going to be worth much at all really. But, run your own google search and check other ebay completes and maybe even abebooks to get a clearer picture.

 

This

this appears to be a different set. Though very similar, there are many noticible differences would it still have the same general value?

 

Most likely, it's been reprinted many times apparently. I don't see anything that stands out about what you have vs any of the other 1000 print run editions out there.

 

https://www.abebooks.com/Waverley-Novels-volumes-Abbotsford-Edition-Luxe/10281569999/bd this appears to be your edition, so I guess that run is complete with 24.

 

And here's a more realistic version of what they are worth:

Totally off topic but one of my nicest childhood memories......Someone mentioned recently that my hero Ivanhoe...Roger Moore...had died...what a great Knight

 

You might be able to sell to a decorator who need "yards" of books for the bookshelves in the home of someone who doesn't read.

Scott, O. Henry, and Dickens used to live long in many homes the way Grisham and his ilk do now.

 

Re: Roger Moore. Loved him! Remember The Saint? And he was the only successor to Sean Connery-as-Bond-James-Bond who inhabited the role perfectly. Very differently, but perfectly! IMHO!

 

Kronos rightly mentioned that the your books are not very expensive (less than $40)
