Time Life Series
Bibliography
The following lists are for the various series published by Time-Life. They are either in chronological order or alphabetical order, depending on the set.
The majority of these books are worth $5-$10 dollars, although the last one or a few that was published in the series is generally worth more.
Please note that at this time, the vast majority of our Time-Life books are NOT listed--we generally only list complete sets, but we usually have partial sets lying around the store. So, you're best off sending us an email. The retail values listed for the full set merely reflect how Browsers' most often prices these sets. You might find better deals out there, and we have certainly seen sets go for more on eBay. If you're going to bid on a Time-Life set on eBay, I would not recommend going much above these prices for the total of your final auction value PLUS shipping (be careful of shipping charges at auction!) In general, it's a good idea to talk to your local bookstore--if they don't have it in stock, they can probably find a set for you within a few months, at a reasonable price.
As with most pages on this website, this one is under construction. More series will be added as time allows. Thanks for your patience!
