The value of those books will depend on the printing dates or effective dates. What are those?

Also, "reproduction pages"??? Pretty fancy word for photocopy...

It's a Canadian market GM publication so it would have less utility for USA produced Oldsmobiles.

GM used to reprint those books almost monthly, and we just pitched the old ones.
Changed part numbers 'superseded' the old - there was even a book for that, in case you had an old part with the 'superseded' number - it was a Royal Pain!
Wish I'd kept them all!!
Price catalogs changed monthly, and the prices from Olds to Cadillac, even though the same part number, were 20 - 30% higher!
We had 3 parts areas: Olds, Cad, and both - a real PIA!
Dual dealer.

Per the seller (looking at old emails) they are July 1972 printings.

'utility'. Are you a Google Rater by chance? I believe that is the only time I have ever seen it mentioned.
