Appraisal Report
The appraised value of this 1890 thirty-seventh edition of 'Oldtown Folks' by Harriet Beecher Stowe is based on several factors. While the book is an antique and by a renowned author, it is a later edition (thirty-seventh), which significantly impacts its collectible value compared to a first or early edition. Published by Houghton, Mifflin and Company, Boston, such later editions are not considered rare. The current market for similar copies in average condition typically ranges from $10 to $30. The starting bid of $9.99 seen in the image is indicative of this market segment. The value assumes the book is in complete and fair to good condition for its age. Higher values would depend on exceptional condition, original dust jacket (if applicable and present), or unique provenance not evident from the provided image.
