Finally getting round to working through some of my late Mum's book collection. Her family tree goes back to France and Italy in the 19th C so many of the books are Italian and French. One set for example is a First Edition run of "Opere Di Nicolo Machiavelli" dated 1811. There's also what appears to a full set of Victor Hugo's Les Miserable, Edition Nelson in 4 parts presented to my Grandfather in 1910. There are more, but it'll take too long to list them

Anyone know where to start having them valued in the West Yorks area?

That's definitely worth a few quid.

Good grief. These aren't bound in Angola leather like the second link, but nevertheless...........
