Here, for the first time, is a book dedicated to helping the serious collector of first-edition fiction. Written by the owner of The Book Emporium, a nationally recognized book business specializing in providing high-quality, first-edition fiction to a highly discriminating clientele, this book is a complete How-To for both the beginning and the advanced collector. Information previously confined to the author's reference file cabinet is now professionally compiled to provide: * description of terms commonly used by book dealers and collectors, * in-depth discussion of grading and the effect of defects on grade, * first edition points for today's most collected first editions, * tabulation of values for six different grades of book and dustjacket, * description of first issue dustjackets. This is not merely a printout of auction sales or catalog prices. This is a price guide (the previous editions of which were offered for sale only to used and rare book dealers) that tells how to identify first editions and what they are worth.

Collecting first-edition fiction can be extremely challenging without accurate references. This book addresses for both the beginning and advanced collector how to identify a true first edition, which dust jackets go with which first editions, how grading (estimating the condition) is done, and what first editions in various grades are worth. Terms commonly used in book collecting are explained and a pricing section covering over 1,250 books by today's most collected authors is included. Unlike other collectors' guides, this is not merely a printout of auction sales or catalog prices, but a complete guide to identifying and pricing first-edition fiction.
