    Excuse me, Half Price Books, but I have 3 very old Zane Grey books. I was wandering how would I be able to tell if they are 1st edition, and how much they are worth? I do know that the paper covers are not original because I read some of the titles that are on the back of the paper covers and they are newer than the books copyright year. But I also read the copy right years of the books and they are all the year that they are published in; no other year. 2 of the book covers are in an ok condition, the Zane Grey book cover Knights of the Range is in the best condition. All of the hard backs on the books are in very good condition, it is just two of the book covers that are in the ok position. I am wondering how I could find out if they all are in first edition, and how much they are worth??? The books that I have are Zane Grey's Nevada, The Desert of Wheat: A Story of the Riders of the Dawn, and Knights of the Range. I am simply wandering how much my vintage western novels are worth, and if they are in 1st edition. PS My books are hard back with paper covers.

    I have a 'Gulliver's Travels' book printed sometime between 1900 and 1902. It was given as a gift from a woman to her brother in 1902. There's no 'published' date in it, so the exact year is unknown. I only have the '1902' date the woman signed in the gifted book. Unfortunately it has a couple of surface 'scars' or tears where part of the illustration is gone, and one inside page (of an illustration) is loose. The other inner pages, text binding and spine are great though.
