| Old Books Hold Hidden Treasures |
| With the high-profile television show, "Antique Road Show," and the high-rolling buying and selling frenzy on the e-Bay Internet site, many people are re-examing the dusty old boxes of books inherited from Uncle Bert or Grandma Mildred that have been languishing for years in the basement, garage or attic. Surely there must be at least one hidden treasure there somewhere, but how does one find out such information? Simple. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Book Dealers - Used, Rare," start making calls, and ask the poor bookseller who answers to evaluate the books, sight unseen, over the telephone. The world of rare, collectible and antiquarian books is complex indeed, and it often takes a lifetime to get beyond basic knowledge. However, there are some general guidelines that can be followed by anyone from the avid reader to the compulsive collector. |
