Opinions of the Press. "We acknowledge, with much pleasure, that 'Book-Prices Current' is now the most carefully edited work of its kind published in this or any other country."-Athenæum. "Book-Prices Current '-the Whitaker's Almanack of book-buyers and booksellers."-Illustrated London News. "A very useful and admirably edited and printed publication. No collector nor bookseller can do without this most comprehensive and invaluable guide to the ups and downs of the book market."-Morning Post. "This indispensable reference book is making itself more and more necessary to bookbuyers and booksellers."-Bookseller. Uniform with BOOK-PRICES CURRENT, THE INDEX TO THE FIRST BOOK-PRICES CURRENT, 1887-1896 "If money, as Anthony Trollope neatly put it, be the reward of labour, too much is certainly not asked for the labour which has 'marshalled into order a manuscript involving 33,000 distinct titles and considerably over 500,000 numerals.' The typographical arrangement of the volume will receive praise from those who can understand the difficulties of the printers' task."The Guardian.

Demy 8vo, The Clique says :-" In the course of testing a great number of references, to see whether we could discover any errors, we are glad to say that we can find none. This is high praise when the author says in his preface, 'This Index contains about one hundred thousand entries, while the numerals employed, which closely approach a million, almost defy counting.' Among the great advantages of the Index may be mentioned the promptitude with which the reader may now find and compare the relative value of any book during the decade covered (bringing to a point the various copies sold), enabling him to ascertain whether its value has increased or dimished during the period. . . . The Second Index is so superior to the former one that the permanent value of 'B.P.C.' as a bibliographer's guide is increased fourfold. This index is one of the largest ever compiled, and it represents three years' work." The Library Association Record says:-"This volume is indispensable to every reference library, and adds considerably to the reputation of English Bibliography."
