Frederic Remington

how can i find out how much a book is worth?

the name of the book is The Book of the American Indian Written by Hamlin Garland and pictured by Frederic Remington

I sell books on-line, and I do always start with Amazon.com. In this case, if you follow the link above, you do see a copy of the book going for a bit over $8, but there are also different versions of the book. There's a block where that's listed, and a library binding of this title is going for $79. You have to check publication information, paperback vs hardback, if it's hardback or has a dust jacket, what condition is it in, and the general condition of the book (falling apart, library stickers, etc). Also, if it's a first edition (and a first printing) it may be more collectible (and if it's signed, might make it more scarce.) If there's an ISBN on the publication/copyright page, use that to check as well. Make sure you are comparing with the SAME book in all ways.

A few other places to check, so you can compare are bookfinder.com, addall.com and fetchbook.info. You can also go to eBay and see if any are being auctioned or sold. Bookfinder can be a good source because it shows books listed at many on-line sites.
