Saved Grandma’s Treasures! A Great Investment!
By A
A close friend commended Mr. Russell’s book when Grandma passed from physical life and I had to take care of her estate which included thousands of books.I was lacking in knowledge when it comes to books.Several “reputable” book stores in our area wanted to buy everything for pennies. I knew Grandma had expended thousands of dollars on her books that she loved dearly.So, I read Mr. Russell’s book,studied the pictures, and started to learn the simple fundamental principle of gathering in language that I could understand. I realized that there were writers that Grandma read who had had their books banned.There were books that she owned by Ernest Trueblood and Edith Van Dyne which were pseudonyms for William Faulkner and L. Frank Baum.(Actually,it would have been helpful if there had been more data when it comes to the Oz books.) So,instead of getting ripped off and losing everything that Grandma had cherished for a heap of years,I kept all of her books.Now, I may go into those same bookstores and buy books for pennies that are worth hundreds of dollars.Thank you for sharing your knowledge,Mr. Russell

A Guide That’s Worth the Money
By A
So a great deal of times I have purchased books that promise the selective information I will need to be knowledgable when it comes to a subject. And so a lot of times it is an empty promise.

Antique Trader Book Collector’s Price Guide makes no empty promises. It’s filled with accessible data that informs the reader on this complex subject. I’ve not found one more comfortable to use.

If you are fascinated in gathering or merchandising books, this guide belongs in your library.

A Good Addition….
By Michael S. Dobson
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 variations of the market (and market values), but each reference book you buy adds a little something to your noesis 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.
