How to Research the Value of Your BooksHi, I’m Molly Mackey with Expert Village right now we’re going to look at a couple of different web sites once you get your books home that you can look at to research your books. We’re going to start off with ABEbooks.com, that’s “A”, “B”, “E” “books dot com”, it’s a very well respected book site for all independent dealers. It’s a good place to research your books. The next one would be “Bookfinder.com”. Bookfinder.com is not an individual website, it’s a conglomeration of many different book dealers put into one website. An excellent resource, both of those I highly recommend. First of all I’ll start off with ABEbooks.com, it’s an excellent resource, it’s full of independent book dealers that can help you research and price your books accordingly. You’re going to start by typing in, it has a very easy search engine, so you’re going to start typing in your author, and your title. From there you, it will pull up a page and you can look at all the different prices, different conditions and you can tell how to price your book. The other site is Bookfinder.com, again it’s a very easy format where again, you’ll type in author’s last name, book title, perhaps you have the ISBN, you can search that way as well. Bookfinder.com combines all of the independent book dealers and you can easily search your books through there to find out their value.
