Does anyone know a good source of info for Father Tuck's Series books. These are dated 1903; published by Raphael Tuck Co. I have been unable to find any in my reference books and very little on the web. There is one on an Ebay Live Auction coming up the 16th that is similar but not the same series. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried posting your question on the Books message board (ebay)? Wish I could help you. I'm bumping this up in hopes someone wiser than I am can give you some answers. Worst case scenario--just list them and see what happens!

Hold the phone. I just went to AddAll.com, typed in "Father Tuck" in the book title line, and 92 titles came up. Give it a shot!

Thanks Roadsmith! That site was a big help. I have a friend just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She has about 6 of these neat books that she got many years ago in an auction box lot. We would like to sell them to help with expenses but want to be sure we know values, etc. Thanks so much!

You're welcome! There are many book-selling sites you can search on; AddAll happens to be my first line of investigation because of its ease of use. One caveat, though: Just because someone is asking, say, $25 for a book doesn't mean they'll get it! As a experiment, "follow" a given book for a few weeks and see what happens. Odds are it'll still be there, much later. Cut that asking price in half or down two-thirds for a starting price and you're more in line with the current market.
