Ok, you bookworms.........

I was cleaning out some boxes in the attic and found an original copy of "A Book of New England Legends and Folk Lore" by Samuel Adams Drake. It was published by the Roberts Brothers in 1884. The spine of the book is still solid, i.e. no pages are loose but the top of the cover is torn a distance of about1"+. Looks like it might be bound in leather. This book has a copyright date of 1883 so I believe it must be a first edition. My paternal grandfather was from Vermont so I believe it must have come from his house when we sold it. Any thoughts on value? I'll try to post some pictures later.

Thanks,
