I am trying to find out if my 1960 Webster's dictionary has any value. It is 2129 pages long.

It is not an antique. It has no real value.

As a general rule, these books are not very valuable.Yours, if in good condition may sell for $10 but it may take a long time to sell. If you want to sell your book it may be best to list it on your local Craigslist as there would be no shipping involved.

It is sometimes even difficult to give them away as Thrift stores and library book sales do not usually want them as they usually do not sell.

There are some listings on eBay but keep in mind that condition and cover material make a difference also.
the first link is to books presently listed on eBay and the second link is to some books that actually sold on eBay in recent months.

If a dictionary is over 100 years old it has value. Other than this the dictionary doesn't carry much value at all. It is hard to donate these and even sell them.

You might want to look for a person who recycles books in your area. He might give you a few dollars for this.

It is not worth anything much.We have computers and so much technology today that people do not even want one. Sorry.

You can get $10 to $20 for this for now.
