Hi all, I recently came into possession of a collection of Sir Walter Scott novels and poems and I'm hoping to find someone who knows more about them than I do. The Waverly Novel collection consists of 25 volumes, the Tales of a Grandfather contains four volumes, and Scotts poems contain six volumes. They all date back to the 1870's and are in excellent condition. They were published by A&C Black, who were based in Edinburgh, Scotland (where I found the collection). Pictures below: https://imgur.com/GrnqEMD https://imgur.com/qTuJqGL https://imgur.com/zFxAg6F Would anyone know how much this set might be valued at? I'm also curious by the inside cover. Each book consists of handwritten cursive, that reads "Jho-Darling, Governors House 1876". It may be just my poor eyesight, but I am unable to deceiver if it's "Jho-Darling" or "Tho-Darling".

I have bought a really old book (over 100 years old), that is a bit damaged! So I want someone to tell me a way to store this book somehow in order not to completely fall apart. Does anybody know how???

I have recently aqcuired a collection of antique veterinary books. The vast majority of them still have leather jackets on them. I am trying to sell them on the web. My question is, would they sell better if I removed the jackets so I can picture the actual covers, or to leave the jackets on. I assume any collectors are going to want to display the actual cover and not some plain black leather jacket, but I wanted to get your opinions.
