Just right!
This latest update is a joy to use. Much easier to read and printed on better quality paper it has become a daily source of reference and information.

More unusual, I now find that I sit and read it for pleasure.

If you are selling books for business or buying for pleasure, this is an essential guide to have close at hand.

I understand that the amount of research causes the price to creep up - hence the four stars - but it's really worth every penny.

A must have for book collectors
Anyone buying this book will already know what it's for and it does exactly what it's meant to do. It shows the value of First Editions and allows you to discover whether or not you have a valuable collection on your bookshelf.

Good but
This is a very good book for finding out about first editions of the authors listed and their current value. I suppose inevitably I was disappointed that some of the authors I am interested in were not listed.
