I know that this may confuse the issue more but that's the way it works in antiques and collectibles. Abe Books has sellers offering An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners In a Serious Treatise for prices between $6 and $600. Keep in mind that the sellers on the high end tend to cater to snob factor and shouldn't be considered an acceptable price. I like to think of them as "Book Pimps". A fair price would seen to fall between $5 and $30 for that book depending on condition and printing number.

Any time I have a question about rare books I do a search on Abe Books at AbeBooks Official Site - New & Used Books, New & Used Textbooks, Rare & Out of Print Books
