Comus, Quill & Brush Press, 2011. The first printing of the latest edition of the standard guide to book values by the authors of Book Collecting. This volume updates their 1991, 1998, and 2002 Collected Books, with values for more than 20,000 books and a section for identifying first editions. The Ahearns have put together the most useful single-volume reference books in the book trade. The listings in this guide include not only estimated prices but details regarding issue points where applicable. This is probably the only book that virtually every serious dealer in the U.S. owns a copy of and is indispensable, both for dealers who must assess a wide range of material and for collectors who focus in one or a few areas. Just the changes in values since the last edition was published in 2002 are an invaluable reference and can easily repay the cost of the book. Also, (taking an understatement from the introduction): "The points necessary to identify first printings and first states or issues are not always available online and, in many cases, there is incorrect or misleading information. So, in addition to its value as a price guide, there is strong justification for the use of this work by those interested in buying or selling scarce and rare first editions who want to be sure their offerings or purchases are bibliographically correct." Signed by the authors. Fine in a fine dust jacket. At the list price: [#029048] SOLD
