How much is my book, "Coronado's Children" is worth?
I just picked up the book, "Coronado's Children: Tales of Lost mines and buried treasures of the Southwest "of a sale of goods. The problem is that the book is Copyright 1930 and I can not tell if it is a first edition or not, because that was before the time that was actually printed in the book. Can anyone help me figure it out?
This is the hardcover book or pocket? If then it is a reprint papeback and probably not worth much. If this is a hardcover edition will have a dust jacket? That increases the value. Apparently the first edition of this book had a dedication on the front pages with the author's father that ends with "… a land of Texas Cowman." If the book could then help determine if it is a first edition. Abebooks has several first editions of this book, in different conditions, with descriptions of the book could also help identify the age of book and what it might be worthwhile. Check the seller's descriptions of his "Coronado's Children" books and see if they can help you: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?fe=on&tn=coronado% 27s + Children & x = 87 & y = 11
