    Going through the attic I found an original book published in 1905 How to draw in pen and ink by Harry Furniss.The book is signed by Jasper Tully 1908 and Alfred Mc Keown.Mr Tully was an early member of the GAA and the founder of the Roscommon Hearld .Mr Mc Keown was a make-up artist in vlaudavile in the 1920s and worked with Orson Wells at a later date.Does anybody know if there is a value on this book or where I could get it valued.Seemingly this book was republished in 1923 but there are very little copies of the 1905 version.

    Don't bloody sell it? What a cool find! No doubt it'll be worth more to you if you keep it.

    If I found a diamond in my attic I would definitely sell it, diamonds are absolutely useless

    You could bring it in to Cathach Books on Duke Street. They specialise in rare/antiquarian Irish books and would be able to tell you how much it is worth.
