Answer Hello,
Actually I am an expert in Italian, Latin and Ancient Greek Literature, not in the value of a book from the point of view of its economic value, i.e. its current market value.
Anyway, you can go to the site below where the only one second-hand copy of “Messalina, Roman Temptress” by Maurice Magre (Hardcover), Publisher: Louis Carrier & Co (1929) has a price which starts from $100.88.
