Contained in Parenthesis is the words (Agate, 24mo). Is there any worth for this book? It's in excellent condition, w/the exception of the cover being a little worn. Please contact me regarding the same!

By Debora Grillot on Monday, March 11, 2002 - 10:26 am:I'v been asked to evaluate a fore-edge Bible dated 1679 (London). It's in excellent condition for its age. The fore-edge painting is of 2 pelicans (supposedly symbolizing Christ) on either side of a heraldic shield. My friend bought it from a rare book dealer in 1988 and paid $2000 for it. It came out of an estate and has the previous owners bookplate pasted in the inside cover. Has its value appreciated significantly since '88? I am an ISA associate member and just registered for the member forum, but thought I'd use this forum while waiting for an admit to the official ISA site. Thanks.
