Ninth Edition

 

Huxford’s Old Book Value Guide Ninth Edition. Collector Books, Paducah, KY. (1997). Hardcover without dust jacket. 423 pages. (8¾ X 11¼). Introduction by the author. The book titles appear alphabetically by author and then by title. The pricing appears to be for individual books for sale by different dealers, rather than the book in general. The pseudonym appears once again and I notice that Ellison, Fearn, and Fanthorpe only have one pseudonym each. You could come up with at least twenty-five for each of these authors.
