Rare Book
What is the title of this rare and unique book?
The price of it runs from $100-500. It's a strange book from perhaps 1900 full of drawings and diagrams of creatures, and it's written in a made-up language. The title is long, and all one word, I think, but I can't remember it! Any guesses?
I believe you are referring to the Voynich Manuscript. This book has never been able to be successfully translated. It is named for its discoverer an antique book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich who discovered it in 1912 among a collection of ancient manuscripts kept in a villa near Rome. Wilfred thought it was composed somewhere in the 13th century. He based this estimate on the inks, calligraphy and vellum used in the construction of the manuscript. Later experts revised his opinion and have put forth that it was made sometime between the 15th and 17th centuries.
The earliest reference to the manuscript in 1666 in a letter from a rector at the University of Prague to a jesuit scholar.
The last invididual owner of the book was HP Kraus a rare book dealer who purchased it for 24,500 dollars. He later donated the book to Yale University where it currently resides in their rare book collection.
The book is 235 pages in length and about 6x9 inches.
The first and largest section contains 130 pages of plant drawings with accompanying text, and is called the Botanical division.
The second contains 26 pages of drawings, obviously astrological and astronomical in nature.
The third section contains 4 pages of text and 28 drawings, which would appear to be biological in nature.
The fourth division contains 34 pages of drawings, which are pharmaceutical in nature.
The last section of the Manuscript contains 23pages of text arranged in short paragraphs, each beginning with a star. The last page (the 24th of this division) contains the Key only.

Rare Soporan $63.73 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rare Soporan (born June 29, 1983 in ClujNapoca) is a Romanian football player, currently under contract at Ceahl ul Piatra Neam . He is a central Defender but can also take up the role of a defensive midfielder. He started football at small clubs, like CUG Cluj and Minerul Iara, before moving to Universitatea Cluj in 2002. The first two seasons at U were rather uneventful but then Soporan made 28 appearances and scored 9 goals in just one season for the Divizia B team. Winter 2006 saw him transferred to FCU Politehnica Timi oara for the sum of 200.000 US dollars. After a year and half, in which he did not rise up to the clubs expectations, Soporan was bought by Ceahl ul. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Analysis of Rare Categories (Hardcover) $168.85 In many real-world problems, rare categories (minority classes) play essential roles despite their extreme scarcity. The discovery, characterization and prediction of rare categories of rare examples may protect us from fraudulent or malicious behavior, aid scientific discovery, and even save lives. This book focuses on rare category analysis, where the majority classes have smooth distributions, and the minority classes exhibit the compactness property. Furthermore, it focuses on the challenging cases where the support regions of the majority and minority classes overlap. The author has developed effective algorithms with theoretical guarantees and good empirical results for the related techniques, and these are explained in detail. The book is suitable for researchers in the area of artificial intelligence, in particular machine learning and data mining. |

Guide to Collecting Rare Books : Researching the Value of Rare Books
i have a rare book where can i sell it apart from ebay?
i have a very rare micheal moorcock book where can i sell it or get a quote for it . i don't want to sell it on ebay because i don't think it would realise its pontential
If the book is really rare and would have demand from the right people then maybe try to get it listed with specialist auction house, they will charge a bigger fee if the item is sold, but they will also publicise the item so it should get better sale price.

There is no standard market. I am a NYC rare book dealer and get asked all the time to value books. I find the online sites to be a poor way of determining value as it depends which dealer is setting the retail price. Generally, for a $250 book "retail" online, it is hard to get $50.
I would suggest selling on eBay or Amazon and highlighting the retain price you found.
