Are these books collectable? "The Winchester Handbook" is hand signed by George Madis. First Edition 1981.

Are they worth a couple million? grin Neither looks like they've been read.

The Handbook is still in print.
If your's were signed by George Madis and had a dust jacket it would be worth more.

Here is the one on the right:

The handbook has upper right corner binding damage and the other appears to have spine separation at bottom.

Pair might bring 50-70 dollars retail.

Good references.

Hi Al.

An unsigned handbook sold for $30.00 on an auction site and there is an unsigned and not so good shape as yours 1916 book currently for sale at $17.50, of course it may go higher. By way of comparison, an original 1916 catalog sold for just over $70.00 last month.
