OT: Anybody know anything about fire service collectibles/books?

I went to our local Salvation Army store yesterday to drop some stuff off, and more importantly look for books. (I did find "Forty Eight Minutes: A Night In The Life of the NBA" by Bob Ryan and Terry Pluto...first edition, too!)
Anyway, I found the two books pictured below. I work in the fire industry, so I bought them (for 50 cents each) because I thought they'd make a neat display piece (perhaps) at our facility.
Well, I did a little digging and it looks like they might have some value.
Does anyone have any clue about how to find a realistic value for these, either as fire collectibles or as books? I see some stuff on Amazon, Abebooks and eBay, but I don't know if that's just wishful thinking by sellers. What's the best way to move them?
Fire Fighting Tactics by Lloyd Layman (C. 1962)
1959 Version from Abebooks
1955 Version from eBay
Handling Hose and Ladders by NFPA
I feel a little better about the price on this one. $15 - $60 without the dust jacket on Abebooks and/or Amazon.

Any input is greatly appreciated.
