Excerpt from The Library Manual: A Guide to the Formation of a Library, and the Valuation of Books

Every amount quoted in the following pages has been actually realised at public auction within the last few years for the book against which it is set, and where two or more prices are appended it must be understood that the book has realised those amounts at auction at different times within the period in question. The valuation of the topographical works mentioned in Chapter XVI. (post p.317, et seq.) has, however, been based, by permission, partly on the catalogues of Mr. Henry Gray, topographical and antiquarian bookseller, of 47, Leicester Square.

The principles upon which books derive their value and the probability of any particular work rising or falling in the market have been carefully considered elsewhere, and as these phases of an important subject are considered to be beset with many difficulties, the reader is referred to the book in question for any information he may require.
