FrogPicks: The Best Books, Movies and Music

Nothing here should be construed as an offer to buy or sell. This is a list of current (8/01/05) market prices for Jane Austen rare books and is provided to collectors for their use in evaluating purchases only.

The prices listed below are market prices for material that is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. Material that is in FINE condition may run higher. Material that is in FAIR or POOR condition may be substantially less.

In Victorian material the quality of the bindings can frequently increase (or decrease) the price of a work. The type of binding, such as: Half leather, full leather, silk, goatskin (Morocco) or roan (sheepskin) may also impact price of books.

Price may also be impacted by signatures or bookplates of related or prominent people. For instance a presentation copy from Virginia Woolf to Thomas Hardy with a note to Thomas signed by Virginia would add significant value.

Illustrations and quality of illustrator may impact value.

Finally orphaned books from sets command less than full sets.
