I also have a copy of this book. It's seen use, and appears to come from Cle Elum, WA. It has pencil writing on many of the pages that appear to be agricultural shopping lists, etc. It also has some papers with notes stuffed in the pocket in the back. One of these is dated 1888. I found this in my Grandfather's things. I think he found it in Roslyn, WA when he was helping my uncle restore and old house there. I don't have any attachment to the book, and would like to see it go to a collector who can appreciate it, for a fair price of course. I can send pictures if anyone is interested.

Value depends on quality and condition. If you could get picture out, we could help with this. If you are interested in selling it, this would also help us to make an offer that could be up to $200 or so depending on condition. curator@illinoisaghistory.com

I have found a copy of this which I would judge to be in excellent condition. It has not been written in. It looks so good I wasn't even sure it was old. It says 22nd annual edition on the back, and in the front it is stamped (or appears like it) with T.C. Carson & Co. Agents Oxford, I
