First edition 1904 by a "Brand Whitlock." Very good condition she says.
She didn't know much about it other than it was considered an important novel. I suggested she check the Library of Congress to see if they have a copy. They do. It is so rare it is kept in a special room.
Any suggestions on where one would go to have a rare book evaluated?

Alas her hopes were dashed. A rare book dealer said it isn't worth much without a dust jacket and the author isn't much sought after.

Well it actually had to do with the book binding. There was a prestigious book binder who did some of these books-and his books are worth a lot of money. Unfortunately this book lacks the initials of the guy so...

I knew someone who found a book by Aldous Huxley – inscribed by the author.

Well she has another book
The Human Figure by JH Vanderpoel.
It's worth $700!
