- This seventh edition of
R.B. Russell's Guide to First Edition
Prices is
compiled for collectors, bookdealers and all who love
literature, providing a guide to the value of 42,500
sought-after books. It includes classic authors from Jane
Austen to Oscar Wilde, detective writers from Eric Ambler
to Minette Walters, illustrators from Aubrey Beardsley to
Florence Upton, and poets from Richard Aldington to Walt
Whitman. 684 authors and artists are represented, in
British and American first editions, limited editions and
important, collectable reprints.

- Everyone knows that the
first edition of the first Harry Potter book fetches a
high price, but there are thousands of other books that
collectors will pay good money for, and not just the
obvious classics. The Tartarus Press Guide to First Edition
Prices will help
in the identification of these hidden treasures.
-
- All entries in the
Guide have been updated and expanded. Titles
published after 1920 are assigned values with and without
dust-jackets, almost doubling the total number of
suggested values to over 70,000. Each author in the main
section of the book is briefly appraised, and a full
bibliographical listing of their works given. This
edition also includes a number of useful appendices:
Single Title Entries, References and Individual Author
Bibliographies, Pseudonyms, Publishers' Conventions for
Identifying First Editions, Winners of The Nobel Prize
for Literature, The Booker Prize and the Pulitzer
Prize.
