[QUOTE="Torkel Oftedal, post: 471832, member: 9653"]I was posting an answer on one of post, but will do so to all, instead of under each, as i am so grateful to all of you here. Actually, i have noticed some of what is said here on the US market, on popular reality shows, like the pawn shop program from Las Vegas, that i look at now and then. If it is true, it is amazing what they pay for books that are seemingly rare over there, books that are not in perfect condition, and that would not sell at all here in Norway (and i doubt also in the UK) for a fraction of the prize. However, i always have mixed feelings when selling. On one side, I love books and would like to keep them, on the other side, space is getting more limited and life have thought me that you cannot keep it all. On the other side it seem to me that interest for books are going rapidly down in our electronic age, which is a shame, so the chances to find a good home for the books you love are getting more and more difficult. Especially on items like these. But i will do a bit of research now, find the book in the box where it is now, and see what i can do, and i will keep you all posted on what happens. And thanks again - i will certainly come back with more questions and comments! :) :)[/QUOTE]
