AbeBooks Help Center

AbeBooks cannot provide book valuations and we do not buy books. AbeBooks is an online marketplace where thousands of independent booksellers from around the world list their books for sale. We don’t sell, buy, or hold stock ourselves.

However, a simple method of finding an approximate book value is by searching for similar copies on AbeBooks to see what prices are being asked.

Many of our booksellers also offer appraisal services. Alternatively, you can contact one of your local used bookstores.

AbeBooks offers a Basic Guide to Book Collecting that offers a wealth of information about rare books.
