A ledger of market truth. Numbers that speak to collectors.Book-Prices Current: A Record Of The Prices At Which Books Have Been Sold At Auction From October 1906 To July 1907 (Volume XXI) lays out the season’s auction sale records with the clarity of a financial register. As a rare book price guide and bibliophile reference collection, it compiles realised prices that illuminate historical book values across genres and formats, offering a rigorous snapshot of the market for early 20th century books. Those active in antiquarian book auctions and vintage book collecting will recognise its practical utility: a collectors price reference for valuation, a book dealers resource for negotiation and attribution, and a dependable source for provenance verification. Scholars of book auction history and students of print culture use these contemporary figures to trace book market trends, while casual readers gain a vivid sense of what readers and institutions prized in the period. Equally at home in a private library or a research reading-room, the volume bridges the needs of market practitioners and curious bibliophiles.Beyond immediate valuation, the volume has lasting literary and historical significance: it records how taste, rarity and commercial judgement combined to shape the book trade at a formative moment. As part of a long-running series of seasonal registers, Volume XXI is particularly useful for comparative research, enabling investigators to chart shifts in demand and to cross-reference auction outcomes across years. For novice collectors and classic-literature connoisseurs alike the record offers context and confidence; for librarians it functions as an effective library acquisition guide. It is an essential tool for establishing provenance, comparing realised prices and interpreting the economics behind collecting habits of the era. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
