Modern Book Collecting

Summary: The book you wish all booksellers would read!
Review: A lot of info. in a small and convenient package - this is the book I consult most frequently when checking editions because of its handy edition-checker listed by publisher. Its also the book that I wish were required reading for all those online bookseller wannabe's listing book-club editions as "first edition" and other clueless faux-pas that cause us serious book people immeasurable grief and gray hairs! A good, palatable and easily-digested overview of the book-collecting world to initiate the uninformed and usher them into the esoteric world of bibliophilia! Recommended for collectors also.

Summary: A Modern Classic
Review: Robert A. Wilson is something of a legend in the book world. His experience can be useful to the beginner. If you buy no other book on the subject than this you could do much worse.

Summary: This book is old.
Review: The copyright date on this book is 1980. That's right, over twenty years old and the title says modern. The book is sorely in the need of an update. I was disappointed in lack of recent infomation dealing with the internet. It is a good source on basic book info, however. I would recommend looking elsewhere for anyone interested in this subject.
