I think I'll print out (or show) these to my students (my own children) as we read the book. Our book doesn't have illustrations. I'll give you a shoutout on my FreelyEducate.com blog soon! - Lori Seaborg Thank you so much for posting these, among others.

I am basing my values on what I have seen it go for on eBay as well as asking prices in various online stores. If I needed to buy one right away without waiting for a good deal to come along I might have to pay closer to $200. If I wanted to sell it immediately I would probably get a price in the lower end, say $50 to $100 on eBay unless I was lucky and found some competing bidders to bid the price up. If you sold it directly to a book dealer you should expect to get on the low end, even a bit lower maybe. For insurance purposes it is rather negligible, just replacement value, and last time I checked you could get a copy easily within the ranges I refer to. This is all just approximation of course. My images may be brighter because I have enhanced them a bit to remove the age toning or browning. Thanks for visiting the site. - John The value of the edition I used would be in the range of $50 to $150, or a bit more if you found the right market.

My mother has a copy of this book, although the colours seem faded compared to what you have posted. Do you have any idea of a dollar value?

My email address is on the contact page if you want to send it as an attachment. Or you can post it somewhere like flickr.com or photobucket.com (using the largest file size settings) and send me the url. The higher quality and resolution the better, of course.
