eighth edition of R.B. Russell's Guide to First Edition
Prices is

includes classic authors from Jane Austen to Oscar Wilde, detective
writers from Eric Ambler to Minette Walters, illustrators from Aubrey

American first editions, limited editions and important, collectable

- Everyone knows that the first edition of the first
Harry Potter book fetches a high price, but there are thousands of other
books that collectors will pay good money for, and not just the obvious
classics. The Tartarus Press Guide to First Edition
Prices will help
in the identification of these hidden treasures.

-
- All
entries in the Guide have been updated and expanded. Titles published
after 1920 are assigned values with and without dust-jackets, almost
doubling the total number of suggested values to over 80,000. Each
author in the main section of the book is briefly appraised, and a full
bibliographical listing of their works given. This edition also includes
a number of useful appendices: Single Title Entries, References and
Individual Author Bibliographies, Pseudonyms, Publishers' Conventions
for Identifying First Editions, Winners of The Nobel Prize for
Literature, The Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize.
