With books and bibles value it is all about "Edition, Condition and Author/Publisher". Bibles can be a special case, values can be enhanced by the fame or notoriety of a former owner, for example 'Billy the Kid' or Marilyn Monroe. Bibles of this vintage and in what would be considered poor condition values are very minimal under $10.00.
