Old Rare Books.

[Now there's a right un.]

I have recently acquired 2 old books which I am struggling to identify and fix a vlaue to.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I go about valuation?

 

 

Book 1: Is called The Home Cookery Book printed by Richard Edward King 106-110 Taberbacle Street, E.C.

I know this is old because of the way it describes cooking. Open fires and spits.

Many of the recipes I have never even heard of before.

 

 

Book 2: Is called The Motherhood Book which from the pictures I guess was produced between the 1920's-1930's.

Printed by The Amalgamated Press, Ltd, The Fleetway House, London E.C.4.

 

I have had no luck in finding out age or value...can anyone help?

Couldn't find a listing for any of them.

 

However, there is a name printed inside The Home Cookery Book called Richard Edward King who I have identified as a Victorian printer. So the book could be over 112 years old.

 

Still working on the other one.
