How do I find the estimated value of a complete set of a 1994 edition and four year books from 1943-47?

I'm 99.99% sure it is all worth nothing other than possible sentimental value.

How about the knowledge in them. Have we surrendered everything to Google? If these books are worthless and they are being sent to recycling, what about the remaining sets forthy years from now? Maybe if we get nuked and just one set survives, we will have at least something to start all over again, if we survive.

In my limited experience, encyclopedia sets are worth very little, but contact a book appraiser for a professional opinion. The yearbooks are interesting, especially to someone born in a particular year.

You might want to check with your local library, too. Good luck!

You may be able to give them away to someone who does crafts or art. There are people who make fantastic artwork/sculptures with altered books. Perhaps an innovative art teacher at a school would be interested in these for this purpose.

Google "Brian Dettmer" to see examples of what kind of art can be made.
