American Book Prices Current is an annual record of books, manuscripts, autographs, maps and broadsides sold at auction. Regions covered include North America and the UK, with sales from such other countries as Switzerland, Germany, Monaco, Holland, Australia and France. . ABPC is not just a transcribed record of titles and prices, copied unquestioningly from the season's auction catalogues. ABPC is the standard tool used by dealers, appraisers, auction houses, scholars and tax authorities. It is, moreover, the only work in English in which each listing of printed material has been checked as to title, format, date of publication, edition, and limitation. Sales of autographs and manuscripts are reported in a separate database. For these reasons, ABPC is an essential tool for buying, selling and evaluating books, serials, autographs, manuscripts, broadsides, maps and documents, based on actual figures realized at auction.
