Is there added dollar value to the sale of books from the library of a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer?

I have purchased the library of a Pulitzer Prize winner in the photography catigory. I wish to sell many of the books. Is there eany added value connected with the fact that he was a Pulitzer Prize winner?

My best guess is that his copy of "Catch-22" isn't worth any more than mine.





Maybe, just maybe, his books on photography might be worth a bit more than any one else's because of his Pulitzer--but only if you can provide proof with each book that it came from his library. That's tough to do unless he was in the habit of writing his name in them.





However, any book is worth exactly what you can get someone to pay for it. If you advertise well in the right places, maybe the provenance of the books will increase their value.
