[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 12339, member: 201"]Thanks, YourTurn, Shiloh and Fig. :) At this point, I'm thinking I'd rather sell than donate. I am totally overrun with stuff, especially antiquarian books. I like YourTurn's suggestion of approaching libraries since the book would remain available to the public. If I did approach a library, any thoughts on what to say to them? Without getting a formal appraisal, how could I get an idea of what would be an appropriate price? p.s. Last night I finally found one other known original copy. It's in the Massachusetts State Library Special Collections area. It shows up both in the library's current database and in their 1853 list of held books. I assume it's the same copy showing up in both places, which I think is kind of neat.[/QUOTE]
