I've had these in the family for a while and we never really knew the value. I looked all over online and can't find anything about these. They have the normal scuffs for books these age.

We need to get the publication information that should be in the front of the books. Then we can look them up. http://www.abebooks.com is about the best site to find similar or identical books and compare what they are selling for. It is a huge hub for booksellers.

At this point you could get more from decorators if they are valued at $10 each!
