i have a collection of 1956 to 1980 compiled readers digest book, all in good condition, i want to know how much it is worth..
The worth of this style of book lies in the merit of the content, not in the monetary value. They provide easy access to the core and spirit of a story, but with the huge print runs, their monetary value is small. They're not really "collectible". First/early printings of some books can be valuable, but Readers Digest only condensed books that were ALREADY popular, so they're basically 40th (or higher) reprintings, and not even of the entire book at that.
Garage sale prices are usually .25 cents to .50 cents.
It is difficult to say, because more and more of these publications are being scanned and made available online, and libraries are discarding their hard copies to make more room for other publications; as a result, it is easier to find the hard copies at flea markets or for sale on auction sites. I would suggest that you go on Ebay and see how much people are asking for bound copies of Readers Digest and Condensed Readers Digest.
