5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a price guide!, January 4, 2001

This review is from: Huxford's Old Book Value Guide: 25,000 Listings of Old Books With Current Values (Huxford's Old Book Value Guide, 12th ed.) (Hardcover)

I was so surprised by this book....very pleased with the price guide because it lists books that I can actually find to buy and sell; there are the few really expensive ones featured but most are in the affordable $20 to 100 range. But the big surprise for me was that it is not a listing of books with an author's opinion of prices. Instead it is compiled from real book dealers and their catalogs or websites. The books listed in Huxford's are the REAL book and what it sold for. The dealers are all in the directory so you can contact them to buy and sell your books. I just can't get over this; so impressed that it wasn't just some guy's opinions of values but the real thing for a change. I plan to buy this book every year.

I am sure this book is excellent for antiquarian/rare book lovers, but I like popular authors with books 20-30 years old too, and those seem to be lacking in this guide a bit. Unless you are a professional book dealer, you will not fetch these prices on the internet, it is flooded with booksellers and the worth of a fine book seems to be waning. But all-in-all it is a good guide to go by when looking up older hardbacks.
