I have a set of Chambers's Encyclopaedias, Revised Edition Volumes 1 - 10, published in New York by Collier Publisher in 1895. They are not in the best condition, but are intact. Can you tell me what they might be worth or where I should go to find out?

Considering the set of Encyclopedias is over 100 years old it has a value. Also, it appears that you have the complete set of encyclopedias.
Step 1
In order to receive a fair value for this set I would suggest contacting an antique book seller in your area.
Step 2
The value is determined by the condition of the books, binding, and pages.
Step 3
These books are offered on eBay, but I feel the asking price and actual selling price isn't a fair estimate of the books.
Step 4
Abebooks has an online site that can help you determine the value of your books.
Step 5
Biblio is another site that helps people determine the value of their older books. www.biblio.com/
Step 6
I would also try checking with Antique & Collectable book appraisals in your area. If you need help finding one you can check on this website. They also might be able to help you appraise your books. www.valuemystuff.com/
