Did you inherit old books and wonder what they’re worth? 

Then join bookseller Edward Crafts at the Weston History & Culture Center in Weston, CT on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 2pm for “Rare Books – What Are They Worth”. The lecture concludes with one-on-one valuations, only one book per family. 

Whether you are downsizing, moving, settling an estate or redecorating, you may want to find a new home for treasured books. Weston resident Edward Crafts tells you how to assess your books’ value, and explains your options: dealers, auctions, Internet sales or donation. Bring in a book for an on-the-spot valuation!

About the Presenter: Mr. Crafts is a bookseller of almost 25 years experience. His Ebay store (Ed’s Bookshelf) has sold over 6000 volumes, ranging from children’s books to 16th and 17th-century treasures. He is conversant in several foreign languages and specializes in vintage books, illustrated books, classical sheet music and transportation-related items.
