Our site does offer several resources that you can explore yourself. If you are looking for the source of a quotation, first try Find a Quotation, a searchable database containing a number of selections from Thoreau's writings. Other resources for quotations are the electronic versions of Thoreau's writings at the Thoreau's Life & Writings page of the Thoreau Institute Web-site, and Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. Using Google to search for parts of the quotation can also be successful, especially if you enter as a search term part of the quotation containing unusual words or characteristic phrasing, and surround the phrase with quotation marks (for example, "three for society"). You may have to try several versions of the phrase. A good print source for quotations is "Simplify, Simplify" and Other Quotations from Henry David Thoreau, edited by Kevin Van Anglen (New York: Columbia University Press, 1996). Only qualified dealers can offer reliable estimates of value for books. If you have a book you would like to have appraised, we recommend that you try the database at the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America Web site, where you can search by state for a qualified dealer. If you are collecting information for a school assignment, we recommend that you begin with the various pages in the About Thoreau section of this site, especially Frequently Asked Questions (Thoreau FAQ), The Life and Times of Henry D. Thoreau, and Reflections on Walden. Information at Further Reading, and Related Sites may also be helpful.
