A definitive snapshot of a vanished book market. A ledger of market memory.Book-Prices Current; A Record Of The Prices At Which Books Have Been Sold At Auction From October 1912, To July 1913, Being The Season 1912-1913 (Volume Xxvii) assembles contemporaneous listings and realised prices from that season of early 20th century auctions. At its heart are the 1912-1913 book sales themselves, recorded with the care of an auction catalog compendium. Meticulously noted entries turn what might read as mere figures into an indispensable antiquarian book price guide and rare book auction records resource, offering primary data for historical book valuations and the price history for books. For dealers and curators it acts as a practical book dealers resource and library acquisition tool; for bibliophiles it is a bibliophile reference collection that lends perspective to vintage book collecting and the collectible books market data that shapes collecting choices. Its systematic, month-by-month organisation permits longitudinal comparison and supports provenance work, insurance appraisals and catalogue descriptions, making it a clear benchmark for anyone studying the economics of book collecting.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.Beyond its commercial utility, the volume is a cultural document: the numbers reveal demand, rarity and taste at a decisive moment in literary commerce, and they inform provenance research and the study of book history. Casual readers intrigued by the texture of the book trade will find readable, tangible evidence of what once commanded attention; specialist collectors and scholars will value this faithful record when comparing past realisations with present markets and when consulting auction catalogues and price lists. Its accessible presentation invites casual perusal while the rigour of its listings meets the needs of specialists. Whether used as a research reference, a library acquisition tool or inspiration for vintage book collecting, Book-Prices Current connects the present to a richly documented past.
