About this guide...

This guide is a compilation of 13,000+ prices collected fromJanuary 1990 to December 2012 (hence the subtitle, Crop 1212). Books are organized by magicians' names. For each magician,books are presented in alphabetical order. Each book has various data listed, grouped by decade. For the1990s, 1,100+ prices were colected. For the 2000s, 6,800+ prices.And for the 2010s, up to December 2012, 5,200+ prices.

An abrupt price rise might mean that it's a worthwhile book thathas recently gone out of print. On the other hand, a sharp declinemight mean that a reprint just came out. The changes through timewill also tell you if the value is now stable or still volatile. E.V. stands for Estimated Value. This value was calculated bygiving a weight to each collected price, according to source, theseller’s reputation for having fair pricing, year the book wasadvertised, if the seller was in the USA, and, when part of anauction, if the book sold, the number of bids made and if there wasa "Buy It Now" option. The letter that follows indicates how reliablethe estimation is: Low, Medium or High. This reliability factor isgoverned by the number of collected prices and the weightdescribed.

Note that lowest or highest prices have been dropped from thecompilation. The same is true for books coming from prominentcollections or offered by prestigious auctioneers.

Most values of this guide are presented as a range from low to high;for example, $6~31. The figures on left generally apply to softcovereditions, recent editions or reprints. The figures on the right are forhardcover editions with dust jackets, first or deluxe editions andsigned copies.

If you are looking to buy a certain work but are not in a hurry, aimfor the figures on the left side. Otherwise, go for the figures on theright side.

If you are a seller eager to sell, aim for the figures on the left side.Otherwise, go for the figures on the right side.

Whatever the guide says, also consider your own evaluation.

Finally, this guide is also intended as a notebook. The check boxes,the white spaces and the kind of paper used are all invitations foryour precious handwritten notes. When traveling, it makes a goodcompanion for book hunting.
