Does anyone know the value of a complete 11 volume The Source Book" encyclopedia set , 1936 ?

Question

I have a set of encyclopedias, dark green hard cover with gold side lettering and embossed front cover- dated 1936 with 10 hard bound & the last one a "loose leaf " additional volume. Used, old, good shape (except volume 8-has some torn/damaged pages)

Has a lady's name on the inside cover from some place in Westby Montana. I think it was picked up through a yard sale or ? years ago and subsequently purchased by my mother years ago.

Answer 1

Try rare booksellers and also Sothbey's and Christies auction house websites. May also want to check with Antique Roadshow website if they have one for a more thorough accounting. Hope they are worth a bundle. Sold my complete set of E.R.Burroughs Tarzan series in hardback years ago before I found out how much they were actually worth. Whatever, don't take the first bid, check around.
