Old books, probably collectable?

    Hi,

    Looking for advice on the following or a point in the right direction.

    I'm cleaning a press out at home and have come accross some books.

    (1). I have a full collection of Sir Walter Scott, Waverley Novels, the Dryburgh edition in very good condition. Red hard back books.

    (2). I have found a bible which was presented to a Matilda Hawthorn in Cootehill Cavan in 1877 by a William Lovett who I presume was a Reverend, for coming 1st in her Sunday School class. It's a black leather covered bible in good order with maps included. Interestingly I found some personal items inside the bible which include a photo of a young man, a 1920 calender from a seed shop named- Charles Lewin Curtis, in Chatteris Cambridgeshire.

    (3). Signed autobiographies of George Michael, Graham Norton and Maureen O'Hara.

    (4). Miniture 12 volume collection of Shakespeare by Roger Frederick, in a case.

    If anyone has any advice on the popularity and value of any of the above before I find them new homes that would be great. Or if anyone knows the extended family of a Matilda Hawthorn, I wouldn't mind getting the bible back to them.

    Cheers
    ss
