    Personally I think you should get these valued by an auctioneer or an antiques bookshop (there's one on Duke street that seems fairly helpful).

    On a side note: if you are selling these, you need to go to adverts.ie to do so. I dont want this thread becoming an auction of any sort.

    Check if they're online on sites like abebooks to get an idea of what they're on sale for. However, be aware that not all those prices are realistic (I've seen plenty of new, in print academic books listed for obscene amounts) but at least will give you an idea.
