Question by TJ: How a lot is “Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion ” worth?
I discovered somebody that has a 1904 leatherbound copy of Jane Austen’s “Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion”. I was questioning how much it would be worth, considering that a lot of Austen’s functions are somewhat sought soon after

Don’t know, but my copy of Pride and Prejudice is a 1908 clothbound…purchased it at a garage sale for 50 cents or so.
Give your answer to this question beneath!
Here’s a link to a few copies that might be similar to yours so you can get an idea of what it MAY be worth.

You don’t indicate what the condition of the book is and that is probably the most important aspect in assessing its value. A certain book in very fine condition that would be worth hundreds of dollars can be worthless in poor condition (i.e. if it’s had any water damage, has severe edgewear, is discoloured by foxing, is sunfaded, etc.).
Your best bet to get an accurate value is to find a local antiquarian or rare book dealer and get them to look at your book. Just take into consideration that if you are planning to sell the book you will probably not be able to get the full assessed value of the book (probably not more than 50% if you sell in yourself online, and no more than 15-20% if you sell it to a dealer.
Cheers.
