Best Book Price Guide, 2009-09-25
This is a great guide by the author who knows his field. Its divided by subject with rare finds and general books. Also contains authors signature pictures, abbreviations etc.

This is definitely a book price guide. Although not very thorough, nonetheless covers a wide range in what is large field.

I recommend this guide more than any other guide because the author is not really biased and definitely knows book business in general.

Find it at the library, 2009-02-13
Book is an ok resource for quick study. The most helpful chapter is on high ticket rarities with a listing of some high demand books that while in high demand... are still circulating quite frequently. It's a good one to check out of the library, but don't rush out to buy this one .. in my humble opinion.

Makes it quick and easy to use this as a take-along tote for flea market ventures., 2006-10-14
The expanded new edition of a classic book collector's market guide provides full color and plenty of detail, updating prices for over 5,000 books and using charts to help identify first editions --which can be a tricky process, as publisher's marks vary from publisher to publisher. A new chapter on children's books has been added, while Top Ten lists of rarities and an alpha listing by author makes it quick and easy to use this as a take-along tote for flea market ventures.

Title Misleading, 2006-03-12
I bought, then returned this book. It may be a fine book for some but the word "Antique" in the title is deceptive. I am interested in antique books. Considering the fact that books have been published for centuries, a shotgun listing of books of relatively recent vintage may serve some well but was useless to me. Sorry, Mr. Russell. Better lose the "Antique Trader" title if you have another printing.

A Good Addition...., 2006-01-30
Lighten up a little, guys. The book is THREE years old, fer chrissakes! NO book, even Ahreans, is going to cover everything AND continually be up-to-date on the fluctuations of the market (and market values), but each reference book you purchase adds a little something to your knowledge based, and this one does as well. The chapter on pseud.s adds yet another dimension to the book seller's (and/or collector's) knowledge.
