    I have the book concerning cotton , which is a stunningly beautiful book made in 1920 about the cotton trade in the north of England .
    It’s full title is :Concerning Cotton: a brief account of the aims and achievements of the Amalgamated Cotton Mills Trust Limited and its component companies
    When I have looked for it online me there are no others for sale and there are 11 in libraries across the world ! London , Paris and New York Ect .
    Does anybody know how I would find out how much it is worth and how I go about selling it ?
    Thank you

    Whoa! Those are asking prices, not sale prices. The trick is finding a buyer.

    They wanted it for free !!
    This is for a museum in the Netherlands , so I’m happy I made some money from the sale but it’s also going to be part of an exhibition where people can view this beautiful book.
    I only put it on eBay to see if there was any interest as I could believe the link on here showing how much it was worth !
    Thank you very much

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It's good to see that a museum is buying it. Thanks for the update!
