Depends on how long you want it to hold it's value. Check out the genre, and who it appeals to. Clive Cussler is an author whose books were around $300 - check the current value of his first book. Value also depends on how many are printed. Just do some careful internet research.

I picked up book matches and had a large collection. Sold it on ebay before I left TX and wrapped it in aluminum foil before mailing it. I havae a couple of strike on the box matches to light my many birthday candles.

Got a new ceiling fan for my BR and son installed it yesterday. Has a light fixture and I can see in this dark room for the first time since I moved here. Feeling better, but still not 100%. Lost a little weight and to this point have not gained it back. My go to sleep videos on utube have moved on from ancient mediterrean history to art and major artists. Am learning a lot.

Unfortunately when my children were little I got measles again. I can remember quarentine signs on door for scarlet fecer, and of couse knew several children who had polio. My parents wouldn't let us go anywhere there were crowds of people in the summer because of polio.

I'm sure there will be at least one more cold spell before spring is really here. Girl scouts have set up a cookie table in my yard; I'm a corner lot. I thought it was Feb 1 yesterday. Seem to gain or lose a day every week now. Only need to know what day it is for Dr apts.

Very ;little melting so far - Pensacola has been paralyzed fpr 2 days. I certainly hop it's another 100 years before we see this again. Beautiful the first day, and amazing, but I'm over enjoying it. Have plenty of food and house is warm, thankful for that.

My brother is coming this weekend for a weeks visit. He has been snowed in for several days in N. Ala. I have 3 or 4 small chores to do before he arrives.
Christmas passed uneventfully. The four little pups next door continue to bark in the middle of the night. Even on these cold nights they were outside in the covered porch. Going to buy one of those whistles that deters barking.

Quite interesting. Vikings settled on both coasts, but the west coast settlement proved unsistainable. Greenland has many rich mineral and natural resources including hydrocarbons, lead, iron ore, zinc, rare earth metals, gold, precious gemstones including diamonds, platinum, and uranium.

Mattresses are deeper now, and I had to buy bottom sheets to go with the good top sheets I already had. Have managed to clear out a few things, sold a couple, and more to go. After 2 weeks finally opened my home owners insurance statement. Thank goodness it didn't go up. Everyone I know has been complainging about how much theirs has gone up. Doubled, etc. Can't believe I worried about it 2 whole weeks. The four little dogs that moved in next door are very entertaining. They dash up and down, but don't get in the pool. Their yips are very small also. Getting things done, buyt slowly, feeling pretty good after all those months of not being in good shape. :Life is good.
