Valuations

At Spillmanns, we offer free valuations and appraisals for rare books, manuscripts, and private collections. Whether you’re looking to sell a rare book, understand the market value of your collection, or simply learn more about an inherited library, our experts can help.

Our book valuation service is completely free and confidential, with no obligation to sell. Each valuation is carefully researched and considers:

• Edition, printing, and publication details
  
• Condition and completeness of the book or manuscript
  
• Provenance, inscriptions, and historical significance
  
• Current market trends
