Abstract: The issue of evaluating old books is one that, on a functional level, has been removed from the provenance of librarians by Internal Revenue Service regulations. But the question in public, academic, and special libraries persists as does the assumption on the part of the general public that librarians know something about old books and the antiquarian book trade. This article reviews the issues involved and discusses the sources of pricing information most useful for general libraries in the United States and Canada.
