Hello Andrea, I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal, Considering the photographs, overall condition, dates and the content, I concluded that this is a lot of two books composed of one printed book of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Noth ing" publiched in 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts. And one printed book known as "Old Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide", published by Berke Brothers Distilleries, Inc. November, 1946 in Boston, Massachusetts. The "Much Ado About Nothing" copy from 1948 is not considered a rare book and almost has no market value, "Old Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide" on the other hand is a low price ranged common collectable book with an estimation of 18-30$. Both pieces are in fair condition with signes of use and age, "Old Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide" is fairly more damaged. Printed Books. Condition: Both pieces are in fair condition with signes of use and age, "Old Mr. Boston De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide" is fairly more damaged.
