Wyatt,
I can sense an air of disappointment, but it still remains an impressive collection.
I can assist you with data to help value the collection. I am in the process of updating my selling guide - when I'm finished I'll have more up-to-date figures for you.
In the meantime, I'll send you a pm so we can discuss the particulars off-line if you wish.
Regards,
Mel

Yes I am a little disappointed after holding the collection for so long. I guess you always have hopes of it bringing a fortune. I would be ok with an honest estimate and offer. I want to give a good deal as well as feel compensated for what my grandfather did. Feel free to PM me and I will accept reasonable offers. Thanks

The most remarkable single volume ever published! Lol

I will be documenting exactly what is original and what is reprint up to 1907. Everything after 1908 is 100% original and most even have original covers bound in them which is somewhat unusual according to some folks I've spoken to. Please give me some time to create a spread sheet and I will enlighten everyone. One good thing I have going for me is that all volumes are bound in the same beautiful leather airplane/globe covers and look fantastic all the way up to 1963!

Correction, all the way to 1975 in leather airplane/ globe. And to 1980 in brown pleather
Some bad news is that I have some major water damage on a few of them. Check out the photos - Attachments:
