    It truly is amazing how you can turn your old Watchtower books into good money on eBay. Makes you want to go back to the Kingdom hall just to raid the congregation library. Anyone know what the most sort after titles are?

    I'm not a collector of books...just a collector of information.

    However, from what I've been told by those who do collect such things, I would say:

    Anything 20s: Name your price

    Anything 30s: Good condition, name your price

    Anything Russell-period, originals: Really name your price

    However, and fwiw, all this stuff is available in .pdf from www.freeminds.org

    Edit to add: I was told that there are like 3 people on this planet who have a complete collection of original 1920s WTs, and when last inquired, one of those collectors said that it was worth at least $100,000, but he had no desire to sell.
