5.0 out of 5 stars Saved Grandma's Treasures! A Great Investment!, September 19, 2003

By	"all4gizmo" (BROOKLYN, NY United States) - See all my reviews

A close friend recommended Mr. Russell's book when Grandma died and I had to take care of her estate which included thousands of books.I was clueless about books.Several "reputable" book stores in our area wanted to buy everything for pennies. I knew Grandma had spent 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 basics of collecting in language that I could understand. I realized that there were authors 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 information about the Oz books.) So,instead of getting ripped off and losing everything that Grandma had cherished for many years,I kept all of her books.Now, I can go into those same bookstores and buy books for pennies that are worth hundreds of dollars.Thank you for sharing your knowledge,Mr. Russell

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide That's Worth the Money, September 22, 2003

By A Customer

So many times I have purchased books that promise the information I will need to be knowledgable about a subject. And so many times it is an empty promise.

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

If you are interested in collecting or selling books, this guide belongs in your library.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Addition...., January 29, 2006

By	Michael S. Dobson "Critic" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 fluctuations of the market (and market values), but each reference book you purchase adds a little something to your knowledge 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.
