In what sense?

I have read most of them.
They are very good sources of informaton, but that info would be very dated now.... In some cases that might not matter... OTOH, if you mean for sale, they might go from anywhere from 2-3 small articles per USD to say 5+ USD for the larger book.... again they might not sell all that quickly. I would like to read one or two again, so yes, better to sell or give away rather than burn....

Looks like some of them have market value, try looking them on on www.bookfinder.com
Or, take Ray's suggestion and offer them up here.

I've seen a few of them and still use two: Kodak filters and the Professional Photoguide (great calcualtors for us nuts still using flash bulbs!). The one on making emulsion might be of interest to the doomsday folks who predict the demise of film!

ok, based on pm's and replies, emulsion making and BW paper guide will be scanned in the next few days.

As a bit of a bibliophile, I kinda collect old reference material like this just for my own interest. So far as a market value, the most I've paid was $10AUS for a bundle of three, but I don't run into them very often. I'm sure you'd get some interest here in the APUG classifieds though.

Put them up for sale on eBay with the description of "minty" and add the disclaimer "I do not know much about these things ..."

That might be admitting too much! How about "I know NOTHING about these things."

I might be interested in the whole lot.

Thank you, I stand [or sit] corrected.

Looking through the list I think I have a lot of these listed plus a few different ones. I'd never thought of selling them as I figured they were really outdated. If someone wanted them I might make them a good deal. I'd have to do an inventory to see exactly what I have.

I bought a camera off eBay that was described as "minty" and it just smelled like dust.
