Monthly plans are for a month or any portion of it. Charges are billed on the first of each month to a credit card. Members who wish to pay by a single payment for a full year receive a 5% discount.
For database access only we offer institutional pricing as well as server based campus-wide links.
Members who currently use our Auction Notices will need, by September 1st, to select specific "keywords" to replace the auction categories we currently use to classify auction lots. "Keywords" are much more specific. We have been identifying corn fields. Now we give you the chance to identify blades of grass.
This pricing takes effect on September 1st. These are the best tools ever developed for book collecting. Those of you who have any questions may click here to email them to us and we will quickly reply. If you prefer to call to discuss how these services work in more specific detail or to obtain some help with any questions you have you can call (415) 823-6678 seven days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm PST.
This is the future of book collecting. As Bob Dylan said, “he not busy being born is busy dying.” It has never been truer in the world of collectible books and ephemera.
