I have a 1884 published book entitled "Poems of Passion" by Ella Wheeler. It is in fairly good condition and on the first pg. is a 1886 dated msg. to Ella from Ma. I don't even begin to know what this is worth or how to find out, can someone help me!

you do realize she is Ella Wheeler Wilcox ( Wilcox after her husband's name ), don't you ?

that is easy, Rebecca

contact barnes ( their site is www.bn.com)

I buy a lot of first editions, rare books there, so I know for sure it is serious

I am quoting something written in their site :

"Sell Your Books! Are your bookshelves overflowing with books you might like to sell? Do you have some unusual or unique books you think might be valuable? If so, we suggest you contact the barnesandnoble.com associated dealers nearest you to find out how to sell them. Click on this link to see our list of dealers."

good luck !!!

and by the way, what a great poet she was !
