Product Description
Here, for the first time, is a book dedicated to helping the serious collector of first-edition fiction. Written by the owner of The Book Emporium, a nationally recognized book business specializing in providing high-quality, first-edition fiction to a highly discriminating clientele, this book is a complete How-To for both the beginning and the advanced collector. Information previously confined to the author's reference file cabinet is now professionally compiled to provide:
* description of terms commonly used by book dealers and collectors,
* in-depth discussion of grading and the effect of defects on grade,
* first edition points for today's most collected first editions,
* tabulation of values for six different grades of book and dustjacket,
* description of first issue dustjackets.
This is not merely a printout of auction sales or catalog prices. This is a price guide (the previous editions of which were offered for sale only to used and rare book dealers) that tells how to identify first editions and what they are worth.
