Depending on where you live you should have a rare book store in the major population center. Particularly in college town. Consider ebay, and if you have a floor price, put in a bid at that level......

look in the front cover, and see which edition. firsts get more value. Good hunting! I have a reprint of the memoirs of US grant. A great read, and as truthful as he could be, with the exception of his "fell off a horse" euphemism for when he got roaring drunk during the siege of Vicksburg. Still, the most brilliant campaign ever on the North American continent.

Grant was magnanimous in victory, surpassing most southrons in his unstinting praise of the valor of the southern soldier.

I'm a major eBayer, and I say NO! He will do much better to have an appraiser to see them, then 'DONATE' them to a museum. THEN deduct the appraised value from taxes as a donation!
