Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 10: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction From December, 1895, to November, 1896 To compare one season´s Book Sales with another on the basis of the number of books sold and the total price realised for them is not always a very satisfactory method of procedure, because half a dozen volumes of exceptional interest and value might in themselves be sufficient to materially affect the result, and to render it more or less misleading so far as the pecuniary aspect of the case is concerned. Perhaps if a long series of years were brought into requisition the fact might be otherwise, since all statistics find their level in time; but Book-Prices Current, though by no means a new publication, is not as yet old enough to furnish the information that would necessarily be required before the Book Market could be placed on such a firm foundation that an average could be legitimately and safely struck. Still, it has been the custom for several years to give statistics, and I do so now as a slight contribution towards researches which may be made in after years, and which will, I feel persuaded, owe something, at any rate, to the information met with in what has not inaptly been termed "The Book-Collector´s Bible." And these statistics, as I have been able to compile them, are based upon each and all the important sales of books that have ever been held in London and the provinces from 1893 to 1896 inclusive. Before the first-named year, it was not our practice either to calculate sums total or to strike averages, and the opportunity for doing so has now practically passed away. At this point it would, I think, be well to give a short explanation of the principle upon which Book-Prices Current is, and always has been, compiled, so that subscribers and others may know how their interests are being cared for.
