From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An antique (Latin: antiquus; old) is an old collectible item. It is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era in human society. Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or a certain attention to design such as a desk or the early automobile. They are bought at antique shops, or passed down as an estate. Some valuable antiques can be bought from antique dealers and auction services or purchased online through websites and online auctions. Antique dealers are often members of national trade associations, many of which themselves belong to CINOA, a confederation of art and antique associations across 21 countries, representing 5000 dealers.

You need alot of book learning. Books are an art unto themselves. It is difficult to determine the rarity of a book because publisher's have ways of doing things with first editions that you need to know. Some publishers called every book a first edition, when in fact they were not a first edition. If you really want to collect antique books, take classes or try to work part time for a book collector. This is a very sophisticated art...book collecting. If you want a good hint and some fun reading, try buying or borrowing any of the murder mystery books by John Dunning.
