2.0 out of 5 stars
Only for serious vintage collectors,
By Regina Maciejewski (Georgina, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collectable Paperback Books: A New Vintage Paperback Price Reference Second Edition (Paperback)
This book, in my opinion, is only for serious collectors of vintage paperback books. I sell paperbacks and get my books at libraries, thrift stores, and book swaps. I have never seen any books like these. They are so unusual in appearance that one would immediately know that this book is unique. I would buy it knowing that it is worth some money. Only then would I need such a book as Collectable Paperback books. This book is definitely not for the usual paperback sellers.
