Autograph Prices Current (Published Annually.) Being a Complete Alphabetical and Chronological Record of all Autograph Letters, Documents & Manuscripts, Sold by Auction in London, with the Date and Place of Sale, Name of Purchaser, and Price [...].

The six vols are uniformly octavo, in original blue cloth gilt. Good, on lightly-aged paper. In worn, spotted binding, with gilt on spine dulled. Each volume opens with several leaves of advertisements for dealers (ranging from Maggs and Quaritch to James Tregaskis and Frank Hollings) and a preface by the editor (that of 1918 describing as the 'outstanding features of the past season [...] the two sales of the Alfred Morrison Collection and the two 'Red Cross' sales'). Still a valuable reference tool, with many of the entries including a precis of the item or quotation from it. Vols 2, 3 and 4 have an 'Early Manuscripts Section' and vol. 6 has an 'Illuminated Manuscripts Section', all by A. G. E. Phillips ('formerly Librarian to the Bibliotheca Lindesiana'), the last of which includes 'a number from the Yates Thompson Sales of 1920 and 1921, from the Mostyn and Brooke Sales, and the Baroness Burdett Coutts' collection of Janina MSS.' Each vol is indexed. This set belonged to the London firm of Myers & Co. (with inscription to that effect in fifth volume), a member of which, Winifred Myers, struck out on her own and became a leading dealer in the field.
