A large "Imperial" Family Bible unwanted, any suggestions for good home?

A friend has a very large bible, published 1880, with illustrations.


He doesn't want to throw it away, but doesn't know the best way to find a new home for it.


It is very heavy and measures 15 inches x 11 inches x 4 inches

I have a few Bibles like this. You can sell it on eBay, or, take it around to your local antiquarian bookstore. Should fetch a pretty penny.
Reply:I'll take it if you fancy giving it to someone who'll actually use it.
Reply:You could The best price on Ebay for something like that. DOnt throw it.
Reply:The obvious answer would be Ebay, or perhaps a local auction house. Are the no other relatives in the friend's family that would appreciate this keepsake? It seems a shame to let it leave the family line. If he has kids, maybe he could carefully pack it in a good storage container, and then hand it onto them when they are grown up.
