What is an Audubon book worth?
1 Answer

How much an Audubon book is worth varies based on its age, type, condition and other factors. In 2018, a first-edition copy of The Birds of America by John James Audubon sold for $9.6 million at auction. The book was historic because it depicted birds in vivid, life-size prints. Today, it is still considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. If you own an Audubon book, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can give you an estimated value for it.
