    valuations for bibles
    Hello, Ihave an old bible titled Canford manor. The inside title reads.To the most high and mighty Prince James, BY the grace of god. It looks like it is leather bound and guilt edged.Unfortunatly there are not any initials on any part of the cover.I wondered if there is any value to it . If there is any more information you may require, I will endeavour to help . Many Thanks. Mrs. W. Derrick.

    There's a price guide for rare books that includes Bibles (and identifying various publishers and printings). Call your library's reference desk or stop in there to ask about getting it through interlibrary loan.
