I have two book I am interested in finding out what they are worth, one is a hard back green book with gold & white in layed picture of a ship at sea and the words Gullivers TRavels, inside it Travels ubti serveral remote nations of the world in four parts by Lumuel Gulliver, the strange thing is the actual contents page is at the back of the book after the story is completed. ISBN 84-1339-0
The other book is a Red leather bound copy of The Adventures of Oliver Twist or The Parish Boy’s Progress by Charles Dickens, illustrations by George Cruikshank and published by MacDonald Illustrated Classics, London, I beleive this is a 3rd Edition from what I can work out. There is no ISBN number anywhere in the book.
Can you please tell me what these books might be worth
Thank you

RARE GULLIVER’S TRAVELS – 1735 – FAULKNER EDITION

This is a very special edition of this classic work by Dean Jonathan Swift. Originally published in 1724 the first edition was edited by Benjamin Motte in London. Jonathan Swift was not at all pleased with the way Motte had cut and altered the book. In 1735 George Faulkner published the complete work including a letter from Captain Gulliver to his cousin complaining of the original cuts that had been made. This book was volume III of the works of Swift that Faulkner published.

Original Binding, all maps and picture of Gulliver are present. I have pictures if you are interested.
