You must be located in the Midwestern states, and be recommended by three current members of our organization who are somewhat familiar with your business. You may check our Online Membership Directory to find the names of our member/dealers. Because the Board of MWABA only meets twice a year, the membership process sometimes takes a while to complete.

For complete details, and to request a membership application, please contact our Membership Chair, Darlene Spohrer, of Autumn Leaves Books Frequently Asked Question How much is my old book is worth? Many different factors must be taken into account when appraising books. Edition is most important, but the presence or absence of a dust jacket is very important and also greatly affects the value of a book, as does the overall book condition.Very special or unique bindings, regardless of edition, are sometimes collectible. It is generally impossible to determine rarity or actual value of any item via email inquiry. In most cases it is necessary to see the actual book in order to make a valid assessment. The Midwest Antiquarian Booksellers Association, (MWABA) is a non-profit organization of book dealers, and, as such, does not appraise, buy, or sell books, however many of our members would be qualified to assist you with your book needs. Many of our members are qualified to do appraisals. Should you wish to contact one of them regarding your books, please search our Online Membership Directory or click on the 'DIRECTORY' link in the navigation bar on the left. Our members are located primarily in the Midwestern states. Other Items of Interest Midwest
