Evaluation of rare and old books
The evaluation of the books requires the analysis of various aspects related to the specimen to be evaluated, including the state of conservation of the work, any aesthetic defects and its importance on the national and international market. Particular attention is now given to the specimens produced between the fifteenth century to the eighteenth century, first editions of the nineteenth century, particular bindings, etc., to do this, before proceeding to a real evaluation, it is required to send photographic material of the work (including binding and title page). This first consultation is carried out free of charge, in order to understand if it is necessary to proceed with an accurate and detailed assessment of the volume.
The knowledge to carry out an evaluation is acquired over time through courses and professional experiences, these techniques I have acquired in various antiquarian and bibliophile libraries present on the national territory which has led me to the evaluation of private book heritage also on international territory as well as the local one and national as well as public ones, such as the Biblioteca Maria Santissima di Montevergine. If you intend to evaluate your collection, contact me and write me your requests, remember that in the case of an evaluation of a work divided into various volumes it is necessary to send photos of all the individual volumes, in the case instead it is a question of evaluating an entire collection indicate the consistency of it.
