Hi All,

The price of an antique book like this depends on the overall condition of
the book. Even though one sold for $31.00 and the other $148.50, one was in
very poor condition and the other that sold for $148.50 was in near mint
condition other wise excellent from what I could see. They probably both
sold for what they were worth by condition but of course the one in mint
condition is more desirable and would be a real pleasure to own. The other
in poor condition would be a hard book to handle, but neither book would
need to be handled any longer thanks to this site;
