Great book finds

[Nam Vet]

Not sure if I ever posted this before, if not these are 3 great old books I found in a bookstore a few years back.
The Old Santa Fe Trail still has all the gold gilded top pages. Great find for $100.00 for all 3. Thinking the bookstore owner.
must have made a mistake when pricing each book. His loss my gain!
Inman was the author of The Old Santa Fe Trail. Sorry there not in order, my bad.

interesting find .... I wasn't familiar with any of them

I'm with Jim on this one. I appreciate older books in good condition, but would have no idea on the value of books.
Congrats on finding a good deal.

Looked up the prices all 3 tops $350.00. Still a great deal at $100.00.

That's awesome. I only have one book I wish I had kept from my parents place. I looked for it, but suspect it was thrown out many years before. It was stored in a small barn that was torn down about 10 years before they passed. It was a book about the first century of the United States. I think it was called Our First Century. It was a neat, thick book. I had read it once. I'm not sure of it's worth, but it was one I'd like to have kept.

Very neat. Thanks. I'll look into it. Ours had a greyish blue cover. I'll see what I find.
