On the weekend I got myself The Allies' Fairy Book, illustrated by Arthur Rackham, from 1916.

For a dollar I think.

Looking online, I'm trying to work out what this book is actually worth, and I'm seeing figures from about $180 to $2600! (That's for a signed copy though!).

Who can you take books to to get them valued? I've never really chased up what any of my books are worth, but this one just seems different, iykwim. That, and I have so many old books, I'm thinking I should get them covered by insurance.

Regardless of what it is worth, the lady I got it from was going to cut it up and glue it into one of those painted picture frame thingys that just collect dust! OMG
