I did a quick internet search on ABE. His books, the few I found,
did not seem to be selling for a lot: $10. - $12.... And that
unfortunately was the high end! Often prices vary depending
on topic and Title. Two books by the same author can sell for
hundreds of dollars difference, because one is quite rare and the
others swamped the market, Having a signed book in good shape
will usually add to the value.

It would have been helpful to have a few titles by this Author so;

1. I could make sure that I am looking up the right person. This
is why publisher, Title & date of publication are so important,

2. So I could be certain of the subject matter. Topics and how well
a book is illustrated can make a huge difference in the demand for a
book.

Anyway based on the info I have thats the best I can tell you, unless
you give a little more info on the books you have. Like condition of
the books, etc. See early Post for details.

Hope that helps,
