Q. Can Fondren Library librarians appraise the value of my rare or antique book?

Fondren Library staff do not appraise books. 

An informative web resource on appraising books is this page from AbeBooks.

A local expert on book collecting is Kurt Zimmerman at zbooks@yahoo.com, or http://www.bookcollectinghistory.com/
