How much would a 100 year old reference book called "The Practical Reference Library" published by The Dixon-Hanson Company in 1910 be worth? The hard cover has been a little worn but the pages are in good shape. I have two volumes of the book that were given to me. Or is there anywhere online I can find to calculate the value of the book?
Probably not a lot. There would have been lots printed. However try this site which sells "out of print" books, see if there are any for sale and if so what the asking price is. www.abebooks.com
(personally I do not buy from them any more as they didn’t help when I had a bad seller).

Old books are a dime a dozen… unless it’s a first edition signed by Hemingway with a note to Sherwood Anderson, then I wouldn’t expect more than $20-$80 if you’re lucky.
But I know nothing about publishing, it could be worth a lot more, best to get it appraised.

It depends on how much the collector thinks it’s worth. There really is no set price for old books.
