I have four books I bought at a library book sale and I think they are worth something:
"Christmas Carol: Cricket on the Hearth", Dickens, hardcover, signed, Haughton/Mifflin Co., 1893. In good condition.
"Last of the Mohicans", A Narrative of 1757 by J. Finemore Cooper, Hurst & Co., NY., hardcover. In worn condition.
"Mixed Pickles", E.M. Field, 1900, Henry Altenus Co. Good condition.
"Keziah Coffin", Joseph C. Lincoln, 1909, D. Appelton & Co., NY and London MCMIX. Good condition

go to www.abebooks.com where you can fill in the search engine with author, title date, etc. you should get a list of copies for sale. Say there are 10 copies for sale. Look at the one in the middle (the fifth copy). that would be your estimate of its worth.
I just looked up "Mixed Pickles" for you. It's worth about $10.00 but the signed Dickens should be worth a lot more

Old books are not neccessarily valuable.If your books are first editions,then yes they may fetch a good price. Remember thousands of books were printed,and because your books look old,it doesn't mean they are so.But why don't you log onto E-bay? They have sections for sale including books. You may find you have something special. Good Luck!
