The oldest book I own is an 1850 edition of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. At the time this edition was printed, Charles Dickens was only 38 years old.

I bought it for $3 in a Lifeline bookstore about 15 years ago. It’s not in great condition, but still in one piece.

I have read Oliver Twist, just not this copy. I don’t want it to fall apart. It’s not valuable though, because it’s not a first edition. Old books are only really valuable if they’re a first edition or extremely rare/ancient. After doing a bit of research I figured it was probably worth about $150. But that was 10 years ago. It might be worth slightly more now.

Might be worth a lot...personally I think its worth so much when it stays in the family....then again the next gen might not have the same sentiment?

Lots of joy and have fun........we can always teach the next gen those special values important to us, right?
