Collecting Books

Collecting books has been one of my hobbies from the time I was a child. I always felt that books were the best source for information, and entertainment. The information contained in books can broaden ones knowledge and skills. In addition, the internet has opened up numerous opportunities to earn money with books. This is a profitable niche and is a need that can be fulfilled in a home business. Many homeworkers start out by becoming a seller on ebay

Book Review: Official Price Guide to Collecting Books (5th Edition)

By Steve Weber

The "Official Price Guide to Collecting-Books" (5th Edition) is a fine resource for all book lovers. Its extensive guide to collectible book pricing is fascinating and valuable in itself, but what I enjoyed even more was the numerous interviews with longtime book dealers.

These interviews, sprinkled throughout the book, provide a keen insight into today's out-of-print bookselling and collectibles market. Of course, the experts disagree on some points, but that is all part of the fun -- you get to decide what makes the best sense for you, and apply those ideas to your own book-hunting adventures.

This guide, by Marie Tedford and Pat Goudey, also thoroughly covers genre collecting, the care and repair of books, and includes a glossary and references to many additional sources of information.

So whether you're a book auctioneer, bookshop owner, an online dealer, or simply a lover of collectible fiction or nonfiction treasures, I'd recommend that you read this book from cover to cover and put it on your shelf for future reference. When I read this book a few months ago, I found myself underlining a few paragraphs on nearly every page. It will give you a finer appreciation of how the Internet has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for book collectors and dealers alike.
