by JessicaDoyle on April 30, 2009 · 12 comments

This little book is in excellent condition. It is fully illustrated and has a grand fold out skeleton on the inside front cover. This book belonged to my Great uncle George Doyle. It has been in my family for three maybe four generations.

      I have a 1905 eight edition of the above book in excellent condition and would like to know its value to a collector

    • JessicaDoyle

      I would suggest searching around on ebay as that is how I deciphered the value of my book.

      Your’s likely could be more valuable as it is older than the one I had.

      Hi

      I am interested in getting this book. Do U still have it? I am a St. John Member of Singapore. Maybe I know whether they have Transportation of casualties in it?

      Thank You

      first aid edition 3rd edition. revised 1901. First Aid To The Injured might this be of interest?

    • JessicaDoyle

      Hi Terry

      No thanks, I am not a collector of first aid books hence the reason I sold this one. Thank you though.

    • PaulaSensenberger

      I have almost the same book, but mine is from 1928, do you know what it is worth??

    • JessicaDoyle

      I’d say about $50ish or so. Check on ebay what they are going for these days to be sure. It may be $25 but it may be higher.
