Excerpt from American Book-Prices Current, Vol. 1: A Record of Books, Manuscripts and Autographs Sold at Auction in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, From September 1st, 1894, to September 1st, 1895, With the Prices Realized Should this volume meet with the necessary financial support from the trade and book-buyers generally, the compilation will be published annually, and it is hoped that this, our first effort, will be much improved upon in future issues. Although the number of sales and aggregate value of books sold at auction in the United States fall below those of England, nevertheless the past year has seen dispersed several collee tions which, in the character of the volumes offered and in the sums realized, will compare favorably with any recent London sales. Some absolutely unique books, and others practically so, have been put upon the auction record, while new records have been established upon some of the world's great classics for which the competition is keenest. The books most in favor with collectors in this country, much as in England, are early English literature, first editions of English and American authors, and the rarer Americana. For a few of the rarest and most esteemed volumes in each of these classes there seems to be no limit in price to which they may not attain. Prices which even five years ago would have been called exorbitant, are today considered moderate. The demand exceeds the supply, and at each sale some buyer is prepared to pay, for a fine copy, a little more than the book has ever brought at any previous sale. This can be said of the rarest books only, for commoner books, and especially inferior 00pies, have not sho'wn any marked increase in price.

Excerpt from American Book-Prices Current: A Records of Books, Manuscripts, and Autographs Sold at Auction in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, From September 1, 1990, to September 1, 1901, With the Prices Realized HE auction season of 1900 and 1901, the sales of which are recorded in this volume Of American book-prices Current, without question exceeds in importance any previous season, both in number of sales and value of books dispersed. We record lots of books and autographs, which is a considerable increase over any previous season since our compilation was begun. While our record aims to show all important books and manu scripts selling for over three dollars for the lot, a good many items, necessarily, are thrown out, to keep the volume within reasonable size. Current books which can still be had of the publishers are generally excluded, and in cases where remainders are being worked off by throwing Copies into numerous sales, a selection only is shown. In other cases, also, where more than three or four Copies of the same book have been sold, a representative selection only is generally introduced. Some other items selling at about our limit, more especially books in foreign languages, as well as occasional cases where the catalogue description was too meagre to identify the book, have been excluded. Taking it for granted that this condensation is uniform through the seven volumes of our work, it is interesting to see the growth Of this particular department Of the book business in America. Our initial volume for'1895 recorded only 6025 lots 1896 reached 741 I 1897, 8562; 1898, 7547; 1899, 8859; 1900, 9662; and 1901, The growth has been constant with the exception Of the single set back in 1898.

Excerpt from American Book-Prices Current, Vol. 18: A Record of Books, Manuscripts, and Autographs Sold at Auction in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, From September 1, 1911, to September 1, 1912, With the Prices Realized The chief reason which brought about the very remarkable success of the sale was the great fame of the library and the high quality of so many of the books included in it. Collectors generally realized that here was an opportunity to secure fine copies of the world's most famous books, and an additional hundred dollars or thousand dollars was a small matter. And rightly, too, for in these days the great rarities among famous books must be snatched at when they appear, otherwise in many cases the opportunity to secure them does not again occur. Price and value of such things is entirely a relative matter. The collector who has the money to gratify his wishes is certainly justified in paying five times the record price for any really rare book he may want, rather than wait a year or five years for the possible chance of saving a few hundred or a few thousand dol lars. While he would have been watching for the cheaper copy he can be getting pleasure from the possession Of the book. But all this is no defense or excuse for any person paying or for a book of which a dozen copies might be gathered together from the book shops of London or New York at prices of or equal in every other respect to the Hoe copy though not possessing the book-label of that library. Some fancy prices were paid for Robert Hoe's book plates during the progress Of the sale. Mr. Hoe in his will while he instructed his executors to sell his library at auction left it to their decision whether the books should be Offered in America or in Europe, and it was a serious question for some time whether the entire library, or at least a part of it, might not be sent to London or Paris for sale. The results have certainly justified the decision of the executors. Mr. Hoe had perhaps the finest collection in America of choice French books, and the universal feeling was that this portion of the library might be sacrificed. But even the French books sold well. The more important Paris dealers were represented and a good many books went back to France. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
