I went to a used book sale at the library Saturday and got this cool stuff! One is an signed Mark Twain book!! I have to research it on Ebay to see if it's worth anything. Also got some videos and other books!

 

P.S.....I just researched this 'signed' book, seems like many were 'stamped' with this exact signature.....(darn!!)

You need a professional appraiser. Make sure that it is authentic.

Good luck...hope it is!

Figures Don would notice THAT title. He's probably eagerly waiting your book review.

Nice finds. I'd be interested in knowing if the Twain book is worth anything.

"Mysterious Erotic Tales?" , yes Don....!!!! I'm even laughing now....(hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do;)

No Don, I heard you were waiting for Robin to finish it so you could read it and learn some new tips and techniques, lol

Hello Robyn - that Mark Twain "signature" looks suspiciously like it was printed in the book.
Before I go to ebay, I check www.bookfinder.com site. It is a list of books being offered for sale by booksellers, not what something sold for at auction. It will give you a better idea of value - which is often much different than what it sells for on ebay. That being said, the real value with the books is the knowledge and entertainment they contain.

I agree with making sure it is authentic...and then...pat yourself on the back for such a great find....

I agree with Richard, make sure it's authentic. You got some good deals though : )

You got some great stuff.. I'm so jealous of people who actually get to go to library book sales.. I can never get there to any here, because I live so far from everything out here in the middle of nowhere. LOL Unfortunately, that Twain sig isn't an autograph, it's mass produced /a> but it's still really cool.. I love Mark Twain.

ROFL! Those are some great finds.

Sorry to be right about that, Robyn. It's a good buy and a good read anyway - shrug - Enjoy!
Amy C. Jun 10, 2008, 3:03pm EDT

That's too bad Robyn, I never would have checked preferring not to know as I could never sell it, it would be priceless to me no matter. Most excellent finds indeed, and I adore Erotica! What's the matter Don, afraid are we??!! Love these sales especially if you can hit the last day and score all you can fit into a bag for a dollar!!!
