4.0 out of 5 stars The 1999, 11th edition of a valuable resource., April 19, 1999
This 445 page hardcover edition contains about 25,000 listings of old books as they appeared on various book sellers' price lists over the past year. Books are listed in alphabetical order by author. It describes the book, condition, date of publication and price as it appeared in the price list. Each entry contains a code to identify the booksellers, which are listed in the back of the volume. About 250 book sellers are listed. An extensive list of about 700 book buyers is provided, listed by book category, along with their address and phone number. A very useful reference for the book collector, buyer and seller.

1.0 out of 5 stars How Old is Old?, May 23, 2002
By "1emp" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
When I purchased Huxford's Old Book Value Guide, I imagined that the books that were covered might be older than those written by Len Deighton and Marian Zimmer Bradley. There's lots of stuff from 1970 on, but coverage of genuinely old books is very sparse. The title of this guide is extremely misleading, but if late 20th Century books are your area of interest, you might find this useful. I didn't.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hit or miss..., February 13, 2002
By Daryl Anderson (Trumansburg, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book does list values of 25,000 books as it claims, but it is incomplete in some very frustrating ways that have to do with how it was put together. The authors apparently contacted a number of book dealers and collected their 'inventories' into a database. These were then consolidated into the listing(s) of this book.

But what that means is that you find an extremely unsystematic selection of titles. You may find a $500 title that someone has been trying to sell for years right above a run-of-the-mill used-bookstore title selling for $15. You could find an author's second book listed, but not the first or third. As a lookup/reference tool is is hardly useful.

I once thought this book would be a nice supplement to the other collecting books that focus on more high-end titles... something to take along to yard sales and the like to see if the $0.25 book was 'worth' $50 or $0.50. Well, even with 25,000 titles you can imagine that many more books are not listed here. Far too often I would not find a listing but COULD NOT KNOW if the book was valuable or not... its non-existence in this book just means one of the selected sellers did not have it in stock. I also kept finding entries in the $25/$30 range - right at the point where it might be a collectable underlisted by that one store or just their overpriced junk. With only a single such listing to consider, I just couldn't know.

The overlarge physical size of the book also seemed unwieldy to me. Combined with the sense of slap-together technique and a look at the number of other "Huxfords" listings, I frankly feel that it is just an attempt to grab a piece of the growing 'collectibles' market.
