Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 3: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From December, 1888, to November, 1889 The number of sales by auction reported in this volume amounts to fifty-six, as against forty-nine reported in Vol. II, and seventy three in Vol. I, and although there is nothing very remarkable in any of these sales individually, yet in the aggregate the afford a bird's-eye view extending over the whole range of Eng ish litera ture. The same may be said, to some extent, of each of the other volumes of book-prices Current already issued, but a glance at the Index of this third volume discloses a larger assortment of books, and the absence of much of that monotonous recurrence which was especially noticeable in the other two. This may fairly be claimed as a distinct advantage, though it is subject to the. Usual exception with regard to the illustrated works of popular modern authors. These seem to be still increasing in number and in rice, though the amounts realised at the mansfield-mackenzie S e, in March last, for works of this class (post, p. 86 et seq.) were quite phenomenal. Beauty and a propriateness of binding, and excellence of condition, contribute alike to the realisation of the largest amounts ever paid for picture books of the kind. The same library was noticeable for the large number of theatrical works it contained many of these were of the greatest rarity, and in the finest condition. The Burnett Sale, in April (post, p. 153 et se was also remarkable, though toa less extent, for Similar reasons. The sale of the season was, however, undoubtedly that reported on.

Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 8: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From December, 1893, to November, 1894 That some material change is, even now, coming over the book market is evident. Fashionable books in the finest condition, or which for one reason or another are exceptionally desirable, hold their ground, as already stated; but most of the others in the same category appear to be slowly, but surely, declining in value. Collectors are possibly beginning to formulate a new rule, credit able to their taste no less than to their discretion, that the real value of a book does not only consist in the price paid for it, for that may dwindle away in after-years, but also in its power to instruct and improve, always remembering, however, that the question of scarcity can never be entirely eliminated, for if it could, it were better at once to have a library of reprints at a small cost than a few books at a high price. This suggestion would, from the collector's point of view, be rank heresy - an offence which it is desirable to avoid the commission of. It is, however, equal or worse heresy against the best traditions of literature to esteem a book, not on account of its merits, but merely because it sells for a large amount of money. This, very probably, represents the feeling which is gradually coming over the great mass of book-collectors, for it is noticeable that works of utility and real merit are being credited primarily, and not secondarily, with those qualities, and realising higher prices than they did a year or two ago. The time may even come when the ancient classic authors, now sadly neglected, may once more occupy their former enviable position, to the still greater detriment of a mass of light literature, got up in limited editions for the mere purpose of stimulating the desires of those who are not rich enough to compete for recognised and very expensive rarities.

Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 20: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From October, 1905, to July, 1906, Being the Season 1905-1906 In addition, seventeen other works realised 100 or over, while many more are credited with very substantial amounts, though on the whole it cannot be said that these high-priced books are as numerous as they have been on recent occasions. In one respect the most important sale of the season was that held by Messrs. Sotheby on May 7th and following days, when the late Mr. Truman's fine collection of works illustrated by George Cruikshank, was brought to the hammer. The collection was also rich in caricatures and other prints attributed to the same artist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
