Estimated Market Value

• Estimated Value: £10.00 to £15.00 GBP 
• Market Status: Mid-20th-century religious fiction and standard Sunday School reward books like those in the Pickering & Inglis ‘Honour’ series were printed in very large quantities. While they are beautifully nostalgic, they are generally common on the secondhand market and hold low financial premiums unless they feature an exceptionally rare, intact illustrated dust jacket. 
• Impact of “Fair” Condition: Because a “Fair” rating means the book shows heavy handling, significant shelf wear, or minor structural aging, it sits at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. Copies in this condition are typically sought after by readers or niche collectors of Plymouth Brethren/Evangelical literature rather than high-end antiquarian investors.
