Tips for Books & Manuscripts Auctions
- 01Check for completeness — missing plates, maps, or appendices dramatically reduce value even if the text block is perfect
- 02Dust jackets on 20th-century firsts can account for 80%+ of value — a fine jacket on a good book transforms the price
- 03Provenance matters enormously — a bookplate from a notable collection or author inscription multiplies value
