What's it Worth?

Miniature books, under 3 inches tall, generally are collected because of their size rather than their content or historical significance. Biblical titles were popular during the Victorian era. Many examples, such as the one you own, were mass-produced. Therefore, the survival rate is high. Your book’s publisher, John Early, once located in Richmond, Va., printed primarily religious titles, most pertaining to the philosophy of the Methodist church. The maximum value for your hymn book would be found in the 100-mile radius of Richmond. In this circle, it has a value of $30 to $35. Anywhere else, its value is between $20 and $25.
