Hi
I am now looking at the list of damaged books the Assessors have made.
I have 122 hardback books which are fire damaged,plus the softbacks.
The softbacks they only value at 50p each.
No point in arguing with them.
The hardbacks are a different matter.
Some are gardening and cookery books, big, very good quality photos in them.
£5 to £10 each second hand.
I have no first editions or other valuable Antique books.
I do have around 25 to 30 very technical reference books including some on Case Law.
They have not been scanned onto the Internet, worth a current pries, £800 to £1000.
I know it is a very boring thing to do,but make a list of everything you have and photograph it.
Have a good day all.
