About this title

From the Publisher

The thoughts put forth in the Children’s Picturebook Price Guide will help all potential booksellers and book collectors. Book collectors of any kind, and not just children's book collectors, will benefit from the logic and rationale put forth to assess a book's collectibility and value. If you, or someone you know, have children's books to sell, then the information contained in the Children’s Picturebook Price Guide could make you hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars.

From the Author

We have been collecting children's picturebooks for over fifteen years, and have over 4,000 first edition books in our collection. We have spent over six years combing bookstores, libraries, and the internet to acquire information for the Children’s Picturebook Price Guide.

We love collecting children's picturebooks, and feel the general population currently underappreciates the art form. From the introduction, "The objective of this Price Guide is to expand the children’s picturebook collecting hobby by providing visibility to the estimated market value of first edition picturebooks. Our hope is that the general population will come to understand that first edition children’s picturebooks have significant market value, and in turn, will lead to new collectors being attracted to the hobby."
