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. 13: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From October, 1898, to July, 1899, Being the Season 1898 1899 The present volume of book-prices current is, strictly speak ing, the first that has accurately coincided with the natural course of the auction season, which, as is almost universally known, begins, as a rule, in the middle of October and ends at the end of July, or in the early days of August. It will be remembered that the previous volume was made to commence in December, 1897, a procedure absolutely necessary in order to introduce a new system. The present volume covers the sales held during the months of October, 1898, and July, 1899, inclusive, and I believe that it will be found that no sale or entry of any importance taking place between these dates has been omitted from its pages. Omissions there are, for it is neither desirable nor necessary to chronicle everything that is sold irrespective of condition, price, or interest; and then, again, some books have been purposely overlooked, for there is no satisfaction in repeating ad nausea: matters of in formation which have been dealt with in the same volume with a similar result on many previous occasions. Book-prices current is, and always has been, a work Of selection specially constructed for quick and easy reference, and compiled in such a' manner as to present as true and faithful a picture Of the book-market for the time being as possible without wearisome repetition on the one hand or irregular omission on the other.

Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 9: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, Have Been Sold at Auction, From December, 1894, to November, 1895 This volume of book-prices current, the ninth of the series, is, in one respect, more noticeable than most that have preceded it.f Though a greater number of sales by auction have been held during the year than at any period since 1887, the sum total of entries in this volume is less than it has ever been. The bulk of the work has not, however, materially decreased by reason of this, nor has its importance been afiected in the slightest degree. On the contrary, the quality of the books sold was much higher than it has been for a long time, and a glance at the index will show that they were, on the whole, of an exceptional character.
