MUMFORD BOOKS

How much is my book worth?

If you want to know how much that old book, magazine, print or photograph is worth, then I can help.

Please note that I will only offer valuations for items that are over 50 years old and out of print and that, for an accurate free valuation, I require the following information about a book:

• full title;
• author;
• publisher;
• publication date (for each volume where relevant);
• type of binding (more modern books should have a dust cover);
• condition.

For providing a valuation, condition is the most important factor. As a guide, I classify items as follows:

• Good: without wear, cuts or stains;
• Average: some wear, cuts or stains;
• Poor: major defects, pages missing, pen or pencil marks.

How much will a valuation cost?

I offer free valuation and advice for one book, but charge for multiple valuations (see my scale of fees).

My 24 hour express valuations service costs just £3 and covers valuations of up to 5 books, or 1 set of books.

To use the express valuations service please click here.

All customers donating £3 will get a PayPal receipt and be redirected back to the valuations form below.

Otherwise, my fees are:

1% up to the value of £500 (minimum charge of £3)

0.5% from £500 up to £1000 (minimum charge of £3)

Any book above £1000 at a fixed charge of £5

Alternatively, in exchange for a book valued at £30, I will value 25 of your books for free.

Or I will give you up to 25 book valuations for £15.
