    First Edition Books: Is it So Hard To Know If it is a First Edition?

    Old and antique books are fascinating to me. I especially like the
    old/antique textbooks, and hymn books. So many of the old textbooks have
    been updated for current teaching, so it is just amusing to see what kids
    were being taught a hundred years ago!! I come across a lot of German and
    other Germanic language Hymnals.

    The illustrations in these books are also great! I love the beautiful
    colors in the front pages of some of the old novels and hymnals. I have
    gone to http://www.Babelfish.com to get translations for some of the
    Non-English titles when I can read the letters, getting past the archaic
    font that is sometimes used in the antique typesetting process. Here is a
    great free site for checking to see if your book is a first edition:

    Why buy from us?

    I have dealt in antiques and collectibles for over 15 years.
    I only buy so I can provide the best values to my customers. I have a number of local resources
    to help me identify and valuate the offerings to my customers.

    I will include a silver metal clip on book mark on request with each order of over $15.00
