Used Mitchell Crash Books....value? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a couple of older Mitchell crash books, one from '92 that includes the '93 Cadillac Allante, and the other is from '87. I know they were for the repair shops to use in estimating repair and parts, so they're not valid today. But, some people like to have them (I did) to use for reference. The pics are like the ones that LMC uses for their catalogs.

So, does anyone think they have any value?

We used to always give away our old crash books to either the local bumper repair shop or the votech teacher. Once the computers took over though, it ended our book needs. We always kept one book (usually foreign) just for the P page information, but now that too is even on the DVD you get from Mitchell.

Honestly, I'd say worthless. Then again I have it all on the computer, so I'm biased probably.
