Do these books have any value?

The 1928-48 Parts book ("The Green Bible") has several offers on Epay, asking 40.00 to 170.00. A copy should be in every serious restorers or resto-rodders library. Note though, it has many omissions and substitutions.


The 1937 Body parts book again should be a part of any serious 1937 restorer or resto-rodders library. My guess is if you wanted to quick sell one you would be lucky to get 25.00, to buy one in a hurry you would be lucky to find one for less than 100.00.


I am not familiar with the V8 engine book.
 
I'd sold a number of these in similar condition. Regardless of what folks ask for them, they don't bring much. The Green Bible as it's commonly referred to in that condition, maybe $25. The 37 parts book, good luck seeing $15. The small book, maybe $10 on a good day.
"paper" has plummeted in value in the past six to ten years.
 
The problem here is most of the younger generation (under 50) rely on their computer and internet for their information which may or may not be correct. A Ford workshop manual or book is almost always correct. Trouble is they have problems finding the correct page. Regards, Kevin.

Priceless!
