Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post, and hopefully give me some guidance. I have been left with a first edition copy of William John Alexander's "Introduction to the Poetry of Robert Browning". I have researched this to death online, and have come up with very little information, except that Google thought it was an important enough work to digitize the book out of Harvard's personal library as you can see at archive.org(sorry - my first post, the forum will not let me post links).

Is anyone familiar with this book, it's collectibility, or any information at all? I am unsure of what I am going to do with the book at the moment, any guidance would be helpful. I apologize to make my first post here an inquiry on the value of an item. Believe me, I looked into the book all that I could, and could not come up with much information. So now I am coming to those of you who are in the know.

Thanks in advance!

I checked Abebooks, and it looks like an 1889 Ginn and Company edition of the book, in good shape, sells for about $8. Yours is probably a first edition for that particular publisher, so I would assume you are looking at less than that.
