Re: The Secret of the Old Clock

With books it's always about the Author, edition and condition, with first editions in very good condition by well known authors generally being the most sought after. Currently a first edition of this one in very good condition can go for over $1000.00, but you'd have to get it graded by an antiquarian bookseller.
