Rating: Summary: Old Books - A to Z Review: Nice hardcover A to Z listing by author.
Rating: Summary: Official Price Guide to Old Books Review: This is a treasure of a book and a wealth of knowledge. What fun it is for a collector to track their investment.
Rating: Summary: The Guide to Evaluating Books... Review: Why did I give this four stars you ask? Well it may say Price Guide in the title, but it spends more time of the evaluation and grading of old books.I bought this to help with my selling of old books on online auction sites, and none of the old books I have are listed in this book as far as the book listing/prices go. BUT it did help me in other areas. It helped me in evaluating or grading the condition of the old books I have, and in turn I have been descriptions on my online auctions. This book has moderately in depth discussions on a review of the market, a closer look at the book trade today, the impact of the internet as far as buying and selling old books goes, the care and repair of old books. This book also includes a glossary, abbreviations, a listing of more that 15,000 books and prices, a listing of Bibles, Old Book dealers, and recommeded periodicals and research resources.
