In addition to current auctions there are extensive full text descriptions from bibliographies, collector, dealer and past auction catalogues available in the AED. It is easy and fast to use and very inexpensive. To encourage you to see how it can help establish valuation and improve your descriptions we are making the almost 900,000 full text records fully accessible from October 1st to November 10th to everyone who signs up [or already has signed-up] as a free member. Simply sign up and then sign-in! If you find it useful then sign up for an annual membership at the current price, $114, and save the $27 increase that takes effect on November 11th. All subscriptions committed in this period expire on November 10th, 2005 so signing up ahead of the deadline imposes no disadvantage to those signing up early. It is the single best tool ever created for building interesting book descriptions.
As an added bonus we are introducing additional software to facilitate your auction research. It is an Auction/Database Comparison. Search any term such as Chattanooga or a phrase like War of 1812 in the Keyword Search box for upcoming auctions at the top of the screen and we provide an option in the results screen to search the same term in the AED. We'll show you how many records we have that contain this term and, if you are signed in, provide a link to these records. This is very useful and quick and another example of the book research methodologies we are developing on this site.
Whatever your book or ephemera interest the revolution in rare book information is happening here. Join today!
