	First edition of George Orwell 1984. They should sell it for charity or something.

	Its most likely valued at 5 bucks due to its condition and any markings the library has made on it. -----signature----- Planetside 2 -- Outcasters "As One" Marmot BR 0 (waiting for beta!)

	Libraries tend to have large numbers of rare books among their stock. I mean while they didnt have a modern redbook of coin values -- the local library did have the 1947 version of it. If it were the 1946 version(the first edition as opposed to the second edition) I might have talked to them about it. --- If I really wanted the book because of its edition status, I would probably call the library and ask if they would prefer a new book to the older rattier version you have. If you are of a more deceptive bent you could always say you spilled stuff on it, dropped it in the toilet, or something and decided to bring back a brand new copy instead of the old one. I mean they are just going to keep lending it out until it has no real value anyway and that at least gets them a fresher copy to loan out. -----signature----- Lost postcount 17k; Lost years 9.6; Lost Title: Priceless The most expensive things in life are free Asheron's Call 3 // Horizons 2 -- Dragons of Dereth (one can always hope) 1920x1200 is a Monitor. 1920x1080 is a TV without a tuner.
