I'm trying to find a very old a rare book?

Question

Years ago when I was in third grade my grandmother gave me a book that had been hers as a child. My copy is very well loved, meaning worn and I would like to find another copy if possible. I've tried many different searches including library of congress but no luck yet. This is what I can tell you about the book. The title is "Peggy's Travels" It was written mid to late 1800's . It is Engish origin. The pictures were done by Alice M. Cook. It was copyrighted or published by Blackie & Sons, Limited. There is no author listed or copyright date. The book is about a little girl who's uncle is a sea captian and brings her a box filled with wonderful things. One of these being a blue stone with a hole in it, a talisman. She had to wear it on her neck and after her mother had gone upstairs to rest, she was to rub it with her hand and make a wish where she wanted to go, but only if she had been good all day. so she went on many travels. I would love to find this book. HELP

Answer 2

www.bestbookbuys.com compiles the inventory of a lot of used and new online book sellers and organizes them by price. They have a huge database, and search the big stores like half.com, powells, alibris and abebooks.

ebay has a feature that will email you when a listing that meets your criteria is listed, so you don't have to check every few days. You can also search the last 30 days of their auctions to see what has sold recently.

Good luck!

Type in "book Peggy's Travels" on eBay! Trust me -- you can find almost ANYTHING on eBay! And if there isn't anything initially, you can set that as a favorite search and set your account so you receive emails when/if someone lists what you're looking for! Good luck!
