Have a hardback set of 16 Daphne Du Maurier books in green with gold decorative fronts looking for a value?

Almost certainly zero

Go to the Barnes and Noble website and fill in info for old and out of print books and you can see how much other dealers are charging for them. Probably Rebecca is the most popular of her books. If you haven't read it I suggest you do. It's awesome. A work of genius. Much better than the movie. Olivier is way over rated.
Reply:Check out Sothbey's or Christie's auction house websites. If they don't do you justice, go the Library of Congress' website at loc.gov and type your query onto their questions page.
Reply:probably very little value, almost certainly some sort of book club issue. Only ones of real value will be first or second editions of each novel. You could try on E bay, but don't hold your breath.
Reply:I have this set of books they were distributed by Heron Books and as another person answered are probably from a book club association.


I picked mine up in a charity shop a couple of years ago for £8 (50p a book). I thought that was a bargain but I doubt they are worth much more really....sorry :-)


Though if you find out different let me know!
