Antique Trader Collectible Paperback Price Guide

by Gary Lovisi

The humble paperback packs a lot into just a few pages, and that's without even getting into the storyline. Every imaginable genre and subject, from romance and science fiction to sleaze and the traditional western are among the pocket-sized reads you'll find in this price guide. The appealing intense, often graphic, passionate and sometimes provocative cover art of paperbacks that you can't help but love are featured in 1,000 brilliant color photos in this must-have collectors reference.

Excellent book on vintage paperbacks. Not much new here for the experienced collector. However, there are lots of full color photos, some of which led me to some really cool books I had not seen before. Prices are way out of line (in my opinion) so...great as a "coffee table" type book, i.e. for enjoying the photos of early paperbacks, rather than a true reference book/price guide.

This book is really perfect for the paperback collector. I have books in my collection that I had no idea were worth anything. It's really fun seeing the value of my mom's old yellowing paperbacks. I had a great evening using this guide!

Wonderful pictures of paperback book covers.

As usual with this kind of stuff, given modern high-quality copying techniques it's as good as having one wacky little museum all devoted to seediness on your shelf. :)
