Book value? dated 1947?

Hi, yeh um i have an old book called Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry and it's a hardback printed in 1947



Just wondering if it was worth anything?
Book value? dated 1947?
I would say it's probably not worth very much unless it's actually a first edition or it's signed by the author. According to ABE books http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchRe... - where I looked for this book %26amp; this date or before %26amp; hardcover - the most common prices are between $1.60 and $12 and some in the $20 + range, some a bit more. There are three very expensive ones...$125 for a first edition with an A on the copyright page; $149.95 for a first edition, with an A and signed by the author; and $1250 edition that was Frank Capra's first edition copy with an A inside.



Unless you have another copy owned by Frank Capra, I think you're out of luck where that price is concerned. The highest price before these three copies is $60.



You could consult a book appraiser in your area, if you wish. You could also search for a book that is like your own on:

Reply:Values are hard to determine, for anything. It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You may get more out of someone by selling it at a live auction or in person than online like eBay. If you were to sell it on eBay you would get anywhere from $3.00 to $30.00 depending on certain factors such as edition #, condition, etc.
Reply:OK there are several copies of this book, 1947 Hard cover edition, listed on amazon.com for sale for 10-50 dollars. That is what they are listed for it does not mean it will actually sell for that price. the condition would effect the price the most.
Reply:Because that's a very well known book and there are tons of copies, my guess would be no.



But i would recommend protecting it from wear and tear just to be sure.

Do think that if I played my cards right...?

...that Marguerite would marry me?
Do think that if I played my cards right...?

Reply:as long as you have a full deck honey.........lol
Reply:Well, it's a matter of love if you will marry her. But if you are playing only it's not good because both of you will suffer. Ask yourself if she really meant for you, if not........stop playing.

Reply:Maybe so... buy her some roses and a huge rock of an engagement ring.... lol
Reply:I don't know her, but who could say no to a laid back dude.

Middle name for Audrey?
If you're going to name her after someone, make sure it's someone you truly love and that you hope she will grow to love just as much as you do.



From your list, I like Delilah and Elizabeth the best. Other options I like:



Audrey Elyse

Audrey Ella

Audrey Brooke

Audrey Madeleine
Reply:Love Audrey Danielle!

Reply:I like Audrey Delilah, it sounds very unique yet soft and feminine. I don't like the way Audrey Marguerite sounds.
Reply:Audrey Elizabeth sounds best to me. Beautiful =)
Reply:Audrey diane
Reply:either Audrey Elizabeth or Audrey Delilah
Reply:Audree Shell Breeze
Reply:Audrey Danielle sounds the best with those names. If I were to pick a second it would have to be Elizabeth. I think Deliliah would be a nice first name.
Reply:I would vote first of Audrey Elizabeth and second of Audrey Danielle.



I would pick a family name before I would just "make one up". Most little kids like to ask, "Where did you get my name?" It means more to them if it has some history with it rather than "I just picked it out of book or on a website".



It could be anything just so it has a meaningful story.



"We named you Audrey because I read that name in a book once and I thought it was the most beautiful name in the world and we picked "Michelle" for your middle name because that is the name of your Daddy's favorite song".



Whatever.. you get the idea.



Editted: I would also "Google" the choice you decide WITH the last name. Just to see what is out there. You might end up with a name of a porn star or a mass murderess and that might not be what you would want.
Reply:As soon as I saw the name "audrey" I thought of the name "joanne" - Audrey Joanne?



Audrey Elizabeth is nice - sounds quite old fashioned though, but its a nice name
Reply:Audrey Danielle

Audrey Elizabeth

Audrey Delilah



My daughter's name is Audrey Caroline Giulia.
Reply:My Favorites (from your choices):



Audrey Delilah (so cute!)

Audrey Marguerite (it's OK, not entirely my favorite)

Audrey Elizabeth



I just realized these were all the grandma's! I guess the grandmas have cuter and more modern names than the aunts!
Reply:i think elizabeth or delilah is cute or may would also be good
Reply:i like Danielle

Reply:Audrey Danielle sounds the best! Great way to honor your sister! Such a cute name; I love both Audrey and Danielle.
Reply:Audrey is gorgeous!



Audrey Marian and Audrey Elizabeth are beautiful. Other ideas...



Audrey Pearl

Audrey Claire

Audrey Maren

Audrey Caroline

Audrey Katherine

Audrey Kate

Audrey Eliza

Audrey Lillian
Reply:Audrey Marguerite would be beautiful! It has that kind of gorgeous, old-fashioned flair, plus it has a family connection. My second favorite from that list would be Audrey Delilah, and then Audrey Elizabeth. I would definitely use one of those middle names, since they actually have some meaning behind them instead of picking some random 'filler' middle name like Anne or Louise. Anyway, congrats on Audrey, and good luck!
Reply:Delilah or Elizabeth are my favourites!
Reply:I like Danielle and Elizabeth.
Reply:I'm an Audrey Nicole. I think because Audrey is one of those timeless sort of names, you should go with a more traditional middle name as well.



Audrey Elizabeth would be nice.



I don't like the way Audrey Danielle flows, and the others just seem a bit too "out there" for Audrey. You should keep things simple and modest, and look for something sophisticated that won't overwhelm the first name.
Reply:audrey lynn
Reply:Audrey Elizabeth or Audrey Rose is also pretty
Reply:elizabeth!!
Reply:Audrey Rose
Reply:I really like the way Audrey Elizabeth sounds. It's pretty, and it flows well, in my opinion.
Reply:Audrey Marian- doesn't really flow well

Audrey Deliliah- cute

Audrey Marguerite- kinda ifey

Audrey Danielle- my favorite!

Audrey Elizabeth- cute



Other suggestions:

Audrey Rose

Audrey Renee

Audrey Lynae

Audrey Rosemarie

Audrey Paige

Audrey Lorena

Audrey Noelle/Noela





congrats, good luck, and God bless!
Reply:First choice: Audrey Elizabeth. That is a really good combination.



Second choice: Audrey Marian. Not quite as strong as Elizabeth, but a nice combination. But it kinda depends on the last name, too.
Reply:personally i would go with Audrey Lynn

The Door In The Wall?

My Cousin is having a hard time reading the book the Door In The wall by Marguerite de Angeli and I tried reading a part of it and it was sooo boring i fell asleep. He said he tried asking his friends to help him but they couldnt read the book either! the book is literally a sleeping pill to these poor kids! He doesnt understand the book either. Can someone please explain the book by chapter what happens? Or send a link to Chapter Reviews of the book?
The Door In The Wall?
The Door in the Wall is set in medieval England, as plague is sweeping across the country. It refers to a window of opportunity to make something of yourself. The walls are problems the protagonist, Robin, faces in the book, and the doors are the ways he overcomes them.



Here is a synopsis of the story:



Ever since he can remember, Robin, son of Sir John de Bureford, has been told what is expected of him as the son of a nobleman. He must learn the ways of knighthood.



Robin's father has gone off to aid the King in the wars against the Scots. His mother has also left to help the Queen of England who has come down with the plague that is killing millions of people.



Robin was supposed to leave to become one of Sir Lindsay's Paiges. But Robin's destiny is changed in one stroke: He falls ill and loses the use of his legs. Fearing a plague, his servants abandon him and Robin is left alone.



A benevolent monk named Brother Luke rescues Robin and takes him to the hospice of St. Mark's where he is taught woodcarving, reading, writing, singing, playing music, swimming, walking with crutches and--much harder--patience and strength. Says Brother Luke, "Thou hast only to follow the wall far enough and there will be a door in it," a way beyond present obstacles.



Robin soon enough learns what Brother Luke means. Robin gets a letter from his father telling him to go to Sir Lindsay's castle. So Robin, Brother Luke, and a minstrel named John Go-in-the-Wynd set out for the castle. Shortly after arriving at the castle it was besieged by an invading Welsh army. Robin comes up with an ambitious plan to disguise himself as a poor shepherd and run for help.



Robin needed to swim across an icy creek but he made it and managed to get help from Sir Lindsay's brother. Robin snuck back into the Castle and rung the bell which the signal for attack. The army swept into the castle and restored safety and peace to Sir Lindsay. It is Robin, who cannot mount a hourse and ride to battle, who saves the townspeople, became a hero and discovers there is more than one way to serve his king. Robin becomes a page at the end of this novel, and has accomplished his dream. Robin is bewildered by the fact that he is a page, and has found his place in life. Eventually, he was reunited with his parents, who were extremely proud of their son's bravery and strong will.



And like the the author said "Thou hast found the door in thy wall."
Reply:Have your cousin type: reviews of "The Door in the Wall " in his search bar, I did and got a lot of sites with reviews of this book good luck.

Any opinions on National City Bank in Springfield, IL?
You cannot be serious. I was actually suprised to see that you didn't post your debit card number and expiration date as well. This is definately not the right place to be asking to have a stop payment on a debit card transaction. I think you would be better served by contacting your bank, probably at the phone number on the back of you debit card.

Aren't those wife swap TV shows populated with people who are totally nuts?

If I was Noah, I'd want a Mythbuster kind of wife. A cool chick who can approach things with a level-headed science kind of mind, and with an appreciation for explosions.
