<human>: Hi Guys.   Like the title says, I got these two old books from my dad.   *More Magic*, and *Later Magic* by Professor Hoffman.    They are the 2nd and 3rd copies of a 3 book series.  I know my dad used to have the 1st one (Modern Magic), but we couldn't find it anywhere in the house :( it's either missing or destroyed.

Some quick Googling reveals that these two were originally released in 1889, and 1904 respectively.  My edition of Later Magic has markings on the interior that say "New York.  E.P. Dutton & Company.   Copyright 1904.  Published, February 1904."  Which makes me think it may be a first edition. The copy of More Magic does not have any mention of the year it was published anywhere inside or out, but appears to be of similar age.

One interesting detail is that both copies have stickers on the inside that say "Private Library of Alfred Lee Loomis" (this guy:   ).   He's not exactly "famous" imo, but does seem to be a known historical figure/scientist/inventor.   Does something like this add to the value of the books? 

Some pics here (  )  

They are kinda beat up.  The binding on 1 is practically falling off.  But they do have all the pages and are completely legible.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Got two 100ish year old books, previously owned by [Alfred Lee Loomis] . Interested in knowing if they are valuable.  [Pics here](
