Are these worth anything?

[jasmine]

hello,

I've discovered in my fathers loft a fair collection of hardback EB books dating from 1950s and 60s, as I'm in the process of getting rid of all his old junk.

I don't have any interest in these books; they've been sat up there for 30 years or more doing absolutely nothing. I just wanted to know if there are any collectable books or prints in the EB collection which I should look out for, that might be worth something, or if they're only worth coppers, suggestions for what I should do with them.

Thanks

Jasmine

Hello Jasmine,

One man's junk is another man's treasure! If the books are original editions with dustjackets, try these dealers in children's books:

Some Blyton titles are worth a fair bit of money, so it's worth checking. Please don't throw them in the bin.

If you have an ebay account try putting them in there. Old harback Blytons, especially if they still have their dustjackets, can sell for about £5-£10 each depending on which books they are.
