How can one tell if a book is really an antique?  I was guessing by the 
binding.  For example, my mom just bought a number of small books with 
leather covers, they do look old, the salesperson clamined they were from mid 
1800, howver they are bound with glue not rope.  Is this a good sign that 
these are more like 1920s?  How long have books been glue bound?  None of 
them have
any dates in them, they are made by a company from New York called the Little 
Leather book company.
Any ideas?
thanks
