Specific Book Areas To Deal In
Another interesting area of dealing and inventory could be developed by searching for books published by a specific publishing house. If you decide to collect in a relatively popular collecting field such sporting or hunting & fishing books, you could narrow your focus to dealing in only pheasant hunting or only books related to fishing on a certain trout stream or lake or region. Almost all the books published by Derrydale Press are collectable in this area.
Another relatively popular collecting area includes children’s books – Oz titles by L. Frank Baum are especially popular.
If you like spy fiction start looking for first editions of Eric Ambler, Len Deighton, Geoffrey Household, John LeCarre, Compton Mackenzie, HRF Keating and Sax Rohmer (author of the Dr. Fu Manchu stories).
If you like crime, mystery and detective fiction watch for first editions of authors such as SS Van Dine, Dorothy Sayers, A. Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Edgar Wallace, Rex Stout, Ngaio Marsh, Patricia Highsmith, Peter Dickinson and Tony Hillerman. For a comprehensive list of the best in crime and mystery get HRF Keating’s book, Crime & Mystery: The 100 Best Books.
The next few pages include bibliography’s of some popular collecting areas and a general bibliography for all book dealers. If you decide to specialize these list could be worth many thousands of dollars to you. Even if you decide to be a generalist being unaware of these bibliographies will hurt your business. So either way make good use of them and refer to them often.
