Which editions? I have one that's late 1980s or early 1990s (don't have it
handy to tell you exactly which it is). I also have a reproduction of the
1st edition.

I have the lastest (No 17) only. I want to compare treatments then and now
for various conditions.
Is there a market in these books?

I have no idea. Check eBay.

I would imagine there's always a market for rare collectible books, but I
doubt if Merck Manuals printed in recent decades are rare.

Try addall,
www.addall.com

Give it the title and see how many editions it comes up with. There
are stores that specialize in used books, but many work thru addall.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some univ libraries had some old
editions around.
