 Official Price Guide to Books, 5th Edition (Official Price Guide to Books)
As a book collector I was disappointed with this book. The text was generally informative but I found the collectible book listing unreliable vis;
br / The author Patrick O'Brian was spelt O'Brien and his first book "Master and Commander" (the most valueable in the series) not even listed.Also a number of collectible authors of modern 1st's were not listed.
br /
br /Little things like this jaundiced my view of the efficacy of the publication.
br /
br /A much better book is "Guide to First Edition Prices 2008/9 R.B Russell.
 Pretty Good Guide - But needs more non-fiction titles
I sell used books on eBay and bought this to bring with me when I go to estate and garage sales. I tend to find and make more money with Non-fiction and this book is heavily weighted to fiction. But it's a pretty good resource none the less.

The book is in excellent condition and I received it well packaged and quickly.
 REVIEW OF OFFICIAL PRICE GUIDE TO GUIDE, 5TH EDITION
Honestly, I was a little disappointed with this book. I thought it would go more into depth about how to recognize an older valuable book. It was just a list of "valuable books, and what they sold for on the Internet."
br / I thought the book would explain how to recognize a valuable book.

If you're a book collector or bookseller, you need this book
This book's extensive guide to collectible book pricing is fascinating and valuable in itself, but what I enjoyed even more was the numerous interviews with longtime book dealers. These interviews, sprinkled throughout the book, provide a keen insight into today's out-of-print bookselling and collectibles market. Of course, the experts disagree on some points, but that is all part of the fun -- you get to decide what makes the best sense for you, and apply those ideas to your own book-hunting adventures.
br /
br /This guide also thoroughly covers genre collecting, the care and repair of books, and includes a glossary and references to many additional sources of information.
br /
br /So whether you're a book auctioneer, bookshop owner, an online dealer, or simply a lover of collectible fiction or nonfiction treasures, I'd recommend that you read this book from cover to cover and put it on your shelf for future reference. When I read this book a few months ago, I found myself underlining a few paragraphs on nearly every page. It will give you a finer appreciation of how the Internet has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for book collectors and dealers alike.
