very rare book to sell

karlh

Hi all,

I don't expect to actually sell this here but looking for ideas as to where I can sell it if thats ok.

I have an original 1939 copy of the Mein Kampf collection. This 18 part version of it was published during WWII by Hutchinson Press in aid of the Red Cross and amazingly they were sued by Hitler's estate and production was halted. For this reason it is worth quite a bit.

I presumed it would be really easy to find a buyer considering the subject matter, but I can only find 1(!!!) listing on the internet of the full collection. It is in perfect nick and colour covers are bright as ever btw.

Does anyone know any rare book sellers who might be able to value and sell this?

The listing on the net mentions rust damage and it's on sale for STG£2400

Thanks.

If its as rare as you say, I'm sure you could find plenty interested.

If your in Dublin, try the secret book and record store on Wexford Street... they might know of collectors, given the type of book shop that it is.

ABE Bookfinders is the best place to look for other copies of books. You can use that as a guide price for an eBay auction.

Folks,
I also have an Arithmetic book from 1856. Again, any ideas if this might be worth anything or where I might be able to sell this? Printed by Alex. Thom & Sons Abbey Street Dublin., 1856. Thanks

I think Mealys of Kilkenny run book auctions. You could email them some pictures and see what they think

This is a serious zombie thread - you do realise that you're replying to a post from 2004!!!
