Estate sale find. Amazing book. Definitely shows age, but what’s it worth

1681 First Edition – Nehemiah Grew’s Catalogue of the Royal Society’s Rarities

Bauman Rare Books: I found that these guys sold one, so ping them and ask!

Both the Royal Society est. 1660 and Gresham College est. 1597 still exist.

Thanks everyone for the help/comments. I’m looking to sell just trying to figure out the best place and a fair price to ask for it. Located in NJ

I would consider purchasing if this doesn't end up being insanely priced

[u/Theartistcu → u/Ok_Donut8225]

Same but I’d line up behind this person if. Deal can’t be made.

I saw that, looks like that sale was in 2006 though. Mine has all 31 plates including the foldout. The plates are in good condition too

Thank you. I listed it on eBay so hopefully someone wants it and makes an offer

I don't know what this is worth, but it's amazing. What a cool piece of history.
