This lovely 302 page price guide lists values in Good, Very Good and Fine condition for almost four thousand of the most collectible and most valuable key American mass-market paperbacks and shows over 1,000 covers in startling, gorgeous full-color. The book is printed on quality slick paper and is a handy 6 x 9" size. It covers each genre by chapter, with chapters on Fantastic Fiction (SF/F/H), Mysteries & Crime, Westerns, Movie and TV tie-ins, Sex and Social Issues, and more! There is a listing for pseudonyms, recommended dealers, book shows, an index of authors and more! There has never been a book like this before in our hobby and I believe it will become the template for all future books about books. I have seen preliminary copies of the book and it is simply gorgeous and full of vital collector data! It is published by Krause Publications, the leader in books on antiques and collectibles.
