<div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"></div><div class="gmail_extra">Hi, </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I had a somewhat similar situation and sent an e-mail to the owners of The Source Bookstore in Davenport, IA. They do appraisals and buy books. They will travel to do appraisals. The catch is, if they travel to do an appraisal, they will not buy anything. However, they replied to my e-mail the same day, AND they allowed me to send them my list of books I had, which they looked over and then told me whether or not it would be worth their time to do an appraisal. They were super helpful. Davenport would probably be a 3ish hour drive from Minooka. Here's their website: <a href="http://sourcebookstore.net/">http://sourcebookstore.net/</a></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 13, 2018 10:09 PM, "Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association" <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">islma@list.railslibraries.<wbr>info</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">The name of the shop in Springfield is Prairie Archives.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 9, 2018 3:01 PM, "Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association" <<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">islma@list.railslibraries.inf<wbr>o</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">She may be able to contact a dealer in Springfield (across from the old state capitol, but I cannot remember the name).

She has Bibles from the mid 1800's and many old political books, as her father was a politician. She has contacted local libraries and historical societies for items that have local historical significance, but she does not know what to do with the rest. She has searched on <a href="http://abebooks.com" target="_blank">abebooks.com</a> and <a href="http://bookfinder.com" target="_blank">bookfinder.com</a>, but really does not want to go through the hassle of selling online. She would like to find a reputable rare book dealer who could give her appraisals. Does anyone have a name or place? She would be willing to travel if necessary.
