Reprints will often have the original publisher’s name on the pages in the book, but the book binding will identify the name of the reprint publisher.
One way to check if your copy is a reprint is to compare the name of the publisher on the book’s spine to the name of the publisher on the title page. Burt, and Grosset & Dunlop, to name just a few, would use the printing plates from the original publisher and reprint works long after their popularity was established. Reprint editions: Some publishers specialized in reprinting popular works in affordable reprint editions.
There are a number of ways that a book may, at first glance, look to be a rare collectible, but upon closer examination doesn’t match up.
Make sure that the copy you have matches the copy that is being offered. A missing dust jacket, or a dust jacket that is in poor condition, can cut a collectible book’s value more than 50% and make it harder to find a buyer. The dust jacket is both the most decorative part of a book, and the most delicate. Most hard cover books published since the early 20th century were sold with a dust jacket. A book collector wants an attractive copy. A book that has significant damage is likely not worth much. Condition means everything in a book’s value. You can narrow down the search results by selecting the filters in the search results to see only Hardcovers, First Editions, Singed Copies, etc. Filling out too much can cause you to miss a copy that was listed slightly differently from what you are using. A couple of words from the title, and the author’s last name are generally enough to get a list of matches. You probably don’t need to include every word of the title and author’s name. The easiest way to know how much your copy of a book is worth on the open market is to check on how much similar copies are currently being offered for.įill out this form with enough information to get a list of comparable copies.
