Many different factors must be taken into account when appraising books. Edition is most important, and the presence or absence of a dust jacket greatly affects the value of a book. Overall book condition is also very important. Very special or unique bindings, regardless of edition, are sometimes collectible. So, it is impossible to accurately determine value or rarity without actually seeing your book. We cannot appraise books online though email inquiries.
