Collecting Modern First Editions
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
While interest in book collecting was once limited largely to old and rare volumes, collecting mania has broadened to include first editions of modern writers. This volume was published in England in 1984; a first edition appeared there in 1977 under the title Collecting First Editions. The selection of authors is strongly British, and though some from the Western Hemisphere are included there are surprising lacunae (e.g., Eudora Welty, Robert Penn Warren, Gabriel Garcia Marquez). Book values are indicated in British pounds. Avid collectors may find interesting the relative values of the included authors' books, as well as the reproductions of a few dust jackets. But some of the indicated values do not reflect U.S. prices accurately. For ongoing book values, librarians will continue to depend on the standard tools. Larry Earl Bone, Mercy Coll. Libs., Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.
