ABOUT THE BOOK

Book Reviews

If you’re a book collector or bookseller, you need this book 

This book’s extensive guide to collectible book pricing is fascinating and valuable in itself, but what I enjoyed even more was the numerous interviews with longtime book dealers. These interviews, sprinkled throughout the book, provide a keen insight into today’s out-of-print bookselling and collectibles market. Of course, the experts disagree on some points, but that is all part of the fun — you get to decide what makes the best sense for you, and apply those ideas to your own book-hunting adventures.

This is a great book for someone who is just learning the values of collectible books. Even though it’s a few years old it gives you a great starting point. It lists a few hundred titles and gives the price that was feasible at that time.

Collecting Books Review

More up to date books of this type would definitely cost a lot more.
I highly recommend this book as a tool for learning the trade.
