The value of a particular example of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, its binding, its provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling your maps, atlases, and books. We provide auction estimates from photographs sent via the Internet. Such auction estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision on inspection of the object. We suggest that you fill in the form below, including the name of the maker or attribution, the exact wording of the title, the condition and known repair history of the item and measurements. It is impossible to give verbal estimations by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value of the years. Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction. Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build
