this is a very big book. Could you give some info-or a place to start research email jdbwhoru@yahoo.com or jdbwhoru11@aol.com I live in CA (Comment this)
The 3-volume set in not very nice condition which you mentioned that we have for sale is priced at £55 (about $110) but there's no sign of them selling! On the other hand I have sold sets in nice condition in the past for reasonable amounts.
However given the relative scarcity of genuinely old books in USA you may be able to sell it for more than I can, just because ordinary people rarely see old items like this there. It's just a case of finding an appropriate venue. For insstance over here in Scotland I've seen items like this go for more at local charity auctions than elsewhere, simply because the people at them were (a) not eBay or auction "regulars"; (b) well-disposed toward the charity.
