How to make money selling books

Books can be valuable as well as collectible... The trick is simple... any book that is a first edition, first print will increase in value...

How to identify first edition first prints. Looking at "Dark Side of the Moon" by Sherrilyn Kenyon we can see that it indicates clearly on the publisher page "First Edition" as well the number line showing the number 1 to 10... 1 being the Magic Number indicating First Print...

The three Key Aspects when hunting for First Editions are:

1. A good condition Dust Jacket.

2. The books overall condition.

3. Minimum to zero inked, penciled or stamped fowl scratches and shout-outs.

4. The first print first edition number line. This may also indicate the publishing date in the case of grandad's older books. 

So where do you find these rare first edition first print jems... 

Apart from the usual online marketplaces, (believe me these marketplaces work because most people are clueless and only care about making a few dollars), cheaper books can be found at hospices and old age homes. These grannies receive donation boxes of books and resell at much cheaper prices. However... Don't be fooled thou... old gran does know what a Harry potter first edition is and you can be sure she has her minion aunties and moms stashing the good copies... so make friends with the grannies...
