Product Description

This is the 3rd edition of "Collecting Children's Books", the definitive price guide to collectable books and annuals and produced by the UK's leading monthly magazine "Book & Magazine Collector".Since the last edition was published in 2001 a host of new faces have burst on to the scene as the media has searched for "The Next Harry Potter."This new fully updated edition has therefore been greatly expanded, and now relatively new faces such as Philip Pulman and G.P.Taylor rub shoulders with old established names like Beatrix Potter, Lewis Carroll and Enid Blyton.The Internet has now become a favoured hunting ground for many book collectors, and has opened up the activity to thousands of new participants for whom "Collecting Children's Books" will prove an invaluable guide and source of advice. The Internet has also radically changed market prices over the last 6 years, so this 3rd edition of "Collecting Children's Books" will be a mandatory purchase for even the most experienced collector or dealer.Containing 448 pages with a hardback cover, listing over 15,000 collectable titles - many now with full colour illustrations - the 3rd edition of "Collecting Children's Books" was produced because of the high demand from readers of "Book & Magazine Collector" for an updated edition. With over 3,000 more titles, 80 extra pages and the addition of a full colour the third edition is the most comprehensive yet.
