Paul Bunyan
What is the estimated value of a 1924 (first edition?) copy of Esther Sheperd's "Paul Bunyan" ?
My fiance has a copy of Esther Sheperd's 'Paul Bunyan', its copyright date is 1924. We both believe it is a first edition, and we were wondering how much his book is worth?
The earliest anthology of the tales of Paul Bunyan was in 1914. There were other collections in 1916 and 1919. In 1924 both James Stevens and Esther Shepard published books on the tales of Paul Bunyan. Therefore your book is quite possibly a 1st addition, but one of many published books on the Bunyan character.
Though this reads negative, it might add to the worth of your book. I quote, "On the basis of negative evidence that Paul Bunyan was unknown to Old Timers in Minnesota and wisconsin and of certain acronyisms in Esther Shepard's version, [there is] a "tentative conclusion" Paul Bunyan as a legendary hero as true folklore is spurious."
