I gathered a bunch of old books from my wife's uncle's house after he died. One of them is NH's "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys", c. 1883, Houghton, Mifflin & Co. (with illustrations). It's a green book about 6 in by 9 in. I would like to know if this book has any value other than being another old book. Anybody know? Appreciate the help. Also, I have two complete home medical encyclopedia sets from ~1940, still in the shipping boxes. If anybody knows what those might be worth, I would appreciate it also. Thanks.
