Sandburg set worth $6500? - Rob Wick - 09-26-2024 03:58 PM
I have a great deal of respect for the Abraham Lincoln Bookshop. I have used their list of the 100 essential Lincoln books to round out my collection (I have 97 of their titles), and if money was no object, there are tons of things I would gladly take off their hands. But I've got to admit to some wonder how a set of Sandburg's six-volume biography is worth $6,500. Even signed, I can't believe it's worth that much. I got a first edition of The War Years (unsigned) for $17, and my set of The Prairie Years (also unsigned) was, if I remember correctly, about $45. If they can get this price, more power to them, but am I missing something?
Best
Rob
