  • It was absolutely necessary.

  • Looking through it, it's most likely pro bush.

  • It would probably be a really interesting read.

  • Everything they have to say about those damn colonists trying to rebel with the camp.

  • Alright, here we go.

  • The articles of confederation.

  • What's all that about?

  • Sounds good.

  • That's it.

  • Really cool.

  • And bad.

  • Thing is, though, he did re bind, it is definitely re binding.

  • Definitely a recent recent re bind, But it will affect the value of the book.

  • Just so everyone knows that's your opinion.

  • Oh, no, she don't.

  • You know, you come to me for an appraisal, I'm gonna give you my opinion.

  • So that's what you're gonna get.

  • So you've got the annual register.

  • This is actually a pretty important publication at the time.

  • It was edited by Edmund Burke, who was a member of Parliament.

  • He was famous, incidentally, for supporting the American colonists in the Revolution.

  • Okay.

  • For example, he gave a very famous speech supporting the repeal of the tea tax.

  • You know, the tea tax that led to the Boston Tea Party?

  • That's where the history books read it.

  • I know the real story.

  • All right, well, I'm not gonna get into that with you, but, um, one thing that's cool about this too.

  • There are descriptions of battles in here, including wth e Major, Major Defeat of Washington in New York.

  • And it was a huge loss for Washington.

  • They had to retreat over the Delaware, very famous.

  • And it was a pretty good example for the English.

  • They're reading about this saying, Of course, the Americans columnist don't stand a chance.

  • The annual register was the perfect publication for any kind of gentlemen or any educated man who wanted to know what was happening in the world.

  • Not only history, but politics.

  • Anything that people were talking about was put in this magazine.

  • So what do we have here?

  • This is really a landmark year period.

  • I mean, not only do you have the description of battles, but you have the declaration.

  • Independence.

  • You have the articles of confederation, like anger Year.

  • But that doesn't necessarily equate to value your right.

  • This one.

  • You have issues.

  • I mean, there's a tape repair here, and I really mean literally tape, which not?

  • And then, of course, she's got the re bind.

  • So with all that mind, I would value it at about 3003.

  • That much?

  • Yeah.

  • Okay.

  • All right.

  • You're the best coming up.

  • Thank you.

  • If Rick decides to go forward with this, I don't think he'll have a hard time finding a buyer.

  • Americana is a huge area and collecting everyone loves it.

  • Well, what's the plan, Stan?

  • I mean, what, you're absolutely best price on it.

  • Well, it's sort of two grand, but I will not be bartered with, uh, take some money off of that.

  • Still, I know, But would you ever pull $3000 out of your pocketbook for, like, a first edition and Kendall Power?

  • Yes.

  • I don't even know what that is.

  • Uh, let me give you 1500 bucks.

  • Let's go.

  • 16.

  • We got a deal.
