Book Prices Current For 1934
Edited by F. Partridge
Published by H. F. & G. Witherby: London 1934
Volume XLVIII

"Book Prices Current for 1934, edited by F. Partridge, is an annual reference work documenting the prevailing market values of rare and antiquarian books sold during that year. It compiles auction records and bookseller catalogues, offering detailed bibliographic entries that include author, title, edition, condition, and sale price. The publication serves as both a pricing guide and a bibliographic record, reflecting collecting trends and highlighting works in demand at the time. By cataloguing thousands of sales, it provides insight into the economic climate's effect on the rare book trade during the early 1930s, a period still influenced by the Great Depression.

Beyond its use for collectors, dealers, and librarians, the 1934 volume offers a historical snapshot of literary tastes and scholarly interests. It reveals which authors, genres, and editions commanded the highest attention, from early printed books and illuminated manuscripts to modern first editions. The work remains valuable to historians of the book trade and bibliophiles alike, as it allows for the comparison of price trends over decades and provides provenance data for individual copies. In this way, Book Prices Current for 1934 serves not just as a price list but as an enduring record of the cultural and economic forces shaping the rare book market of its era. "
