Q: I have the Emerson Essays – second edition – dated 1899

I’ve looked through your site and not able to find a value for it, any help you could give would be appreciated.

A: Your book can be found here: Petit Trianon Series It was published in 1899 and is a reprint. There are no book values listed on the site.

Although I can give you a rough idea of what this book has sold for over the past 10 years or so, frequently the prices paid are so unpredictable that my opinion is rather meaningless.

But regardless of that, in my opinion your book only has nominal value.
