Many people have old books they think are valuable and would like to sell. Most old dictionaries, references etc., have very little value, a few dollars at most.

Considering the books are just over 100 years old it might be best to talk with an antique book seller to make sure the actual date of the books and the true value of the books. The condition of the books and the covers will determine the real value of your books. There are collectors out there that buy old books like this.
