Either to an antique dealer, a rare books collector/store, or on ebay.
Try to find out an apx value online or from a reference book before selling them though!

E-bay or a private auction house, depending on how many you have, what condition they are in - etc. A used book store or antiques dealer won't give you squat for them.
A book has to be over 150 years old before it is considered and antique. Before that it's a collector's item, and your not going to get your best price from someone who wants to add a mark-up.
With anything - never get the estimate fo worth from the person your selling it to. Go to a third party and get an insurance estimate. Then when you go to the buyer, you know what it's worth and can ask a fair price (remember - he might want to resell and will offer you 15-30% under sale price if he's reputable.)

Use eBay, or amazon.com or abebooks.com
I buy a ton of books from those three sources.
