Summary
Details

""Targ's American First Editions and Their Prices"" is a foundational reference work designed for book collectors, bibliophiles, and rare book dealers. This comprehensive guide offers a detailed look at the most sought-after first editions in American literature, providing essential data on identification marks and market valuations during the early 20th century.

The volume catalogs a diverse array of American authors, listing their key works alongside specific ""points"" of issue-the minute typographical or binding details that distinguish a true first printing from later editions. By documenting the prices of these volumes in the 1930s, the work serves as a fascinating historical record of the rare book trade and the shifting tastes of literary collectors. Whether used as a bibliographic tool or a window into the history of book collecting, ""Targ's American First Editions and Their Prices"" remains a significant resource for understanding the preservation and valuation of American literary heritage.
