Publisher Pocket Guide?
Can anyone recommend a portable guide, similar to the McBride booklets,
that list authors with the publisher of the first trade edition of their works? As far as I can tell, McBride won't tell me if a book is the true first, or the first edition of a reprint. This would be for American & English fiction writers of the last ~100 years. Thanks in advance |

Thanks in advance Not exactly what you're looking for, but check out the Author Price Guides from Allen and Patricia Ahern's Quill and Brush: "Bibliographic price guides for over 170 authors. Include a facsimile of the author's signature; a brief biographical sketch; an up-to-date list of the author's first editions (American and British) with entries for limited and trade editions; number of copies printed (if available); how to identify the first edition and estimated values." (from their Web site, http://www.qbbooks.com/guides.htm) They're printed on letter-sized paper, punched to fit a 3-ring binder. Prices range from $1.50 to $44.25, plus postage. Or you can get all 174 on CD for $250, which is more portable. Of course, you might need a computer to be able to use it... Phred |
