It's rather obvious that BookScans cannot even come close to including
every single vintage paperbound book printed in the world, but
collectors who wish to share their books published beyond the borders of
the United States can do so in this section. I will try to keep up with
large submissions, but please understand that the original intent of the
BookScans website was to post covers of vintage U.S. books, and those will
take priority as I post new Updates; so please be patient.
Keep in mind that the BookScans
database does not list books printed after the 1970's.
The books of greatest interest to
American collectors are, of course, those from other English-speaking
countries, particularly Canada, The United Kingdom, and Australia.
A few Canadian publishing houses have
become ingrained in U.S. culture. For example, Harlequin of Toronto,
Ontario, has become so much a part of the U.S. literary scene that
citizens of this country mistakenly believe it to be one of our own.
As this portion of the BookScans
database grows, some of the links at the left may lead to separate,
stand-alone directories, but the transitions should be smooth and
self-explanatory. If you encounter any problems, please email me.
