favored divisions yesterday, and
they also stood out today along
with the steels and some motors.
Also higher were the rubbers,
aircrafts, chemicals and rail-

ssnEAR LIBRARY OF Con-
II greSS: I have an old
book, printed in the l500s,
Is it worth a great deal of
money? Would the Library
like to buy it?"
The Library of Congress
gets many letters such as
this. sometimes accompanied
by a faded volume. The book
is old, and the owner believes
it therefore is valuable-and
he wouldn't mind having a
fair price for it.
But the Lbrary's Rare
Books Division almost always
sends an answer something
like this: I'VE checked the
rare book sales catalogues and
found that a book identical
to yours recently sold for
$3.50. Sorry, but we do not
wish to buy a copy"
The answer Is disappointing
to the books owner, but. still,
II his 400-year-old volume is
worth even that much, it is
one of the more valuable of
old books. For there are
plenty of old books to be
found. Age alone does not
make a book valuable. Nor
does rarity. Only one copy
