Need help with value of Moral Sayings of Confucius 1855

[fantasygamecenter]

Need help with finding a value for this book. The only ones that I can find are brand new reproductions. This book is an original 1855 copy of Moral Sayings of Confucius, A Chinese Philosopher.

The condition is poor,I am not sure there are many book collectors out there who would want a copy of Confucius saying in English,you can go to AMZN forum and ask the book sellers.

All I can tell you is that, generally speaking, if there are print-on-demand copies available and selling, that's a good thing for you. Ongoing interest in a book can mean there's a market for the original.  I'd say the condition of yours is not bad at all, with the "foxing" (all those spots) being perfectly normal. 

Here's the WorldCat entry:

There is a Booksellers Board here on eBay that used to attract knowledgeable and experienced booksellers.  It's very slow now, but this might catch someone's eye, so it's worth posting this on that board, as well:

Thank you for the response. I will check out the book sellers board section.
