So I'm at this yard sale and they have just piles of free books, so naturally I flip through and just take anything that looks good either content-wise or aesthetically. I found a bunch of pretty stock junk, but this one book caught my eye and I had to save it.

I cut in front of this little white trash kid who was throwing shit around and grabbed it, it wasn't till I got home I looked through it and saw what it was. Apparently some prisoner in the Colorado State Penitentiary wrote it and published it in the late 30's, and it isn't bad, but beyond that I have nothing. The internet only has one copy listed as existing, but beyond that I have nothing on the guy or the circumstances of publication, anyone got any clues?

Shit, double posted one, I'm on my phone. These illustrations are hand-colored though, it's pretty interesting…

Very rare; however, the quoted price to obtain a copy is only $125. Basically worth a modest night about town. A nice find, but not something to quit your day job over.

What you could do is to perform some high quality digitizing/photocopying. From that you would OCR and rebind it into an ebook (or present the photocopies to someone who knows how to do all that). Then upload it, preferably to a service that grants you credit for original uploads.

If you happen to be a writer, you might prefer to hang onto it for study. Keep it as a source of private inspiration. Save it for the grandchildren to cash in on.

Otherwise, to make something more out of this find you would have to speak to an experienced used book dealer.

Whatever you do, take your time and think it though. Do not rush into anything.

Your gallery on your phone?

Yeah, see, your phone knows the orientation the photo was taken at and rotates the pic accordingly for viewing.

The actual image file is sideways because you turned your phone "sideways" to take the picture.

I would keep it as an art object if nothing else
