[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 584601, member: 6444"]At an estate cleanout where books were being discarded, I picked these up though I had no expectation that they would be worth anything. After all this is a mathematics book, not early, dated 1882, not signed. Very surprised when I checked on abebooks/bookfinder. There are lots of people reprinting the book on demand. In my search the only original edition I could find (three volume set) is priced over $1300.

Is this seller insane, or is this book that rare and desirable? Then, since I have volume 1 and volume 2, but not volume 3, what does that do to the value? p.s. Please be patient, I will add pics to show pics with cover pages and condition soon. And I went back to be sure, but the third volume was not to be found.[/QUOTE]
