Booksellers: The Bookologist (on-line subscription is free) is beginning a serious recapping of 1st edition identification:
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Bookologist has begun construction of a large resource for first edition identification. This
will be the first of its kind online, more comprehensive than any reference book currently in print,
and, if things go according to plan, will be completed in the next few months. The first installment
- publishers beginning with the letter 'A' - will be put into place today and will consist of detailed
information on first edition designations for over 450 different publishers beginning with this letter.

Once all A-Z publishers are in place, a resource for determining issue states will follow. As with
all other resources we offer, your corrections to existing material and suggestions for additions to
it are most welcome, perhaps particularly welcome in this area. We don't know it all; nor can
we.

You are very welcome, inot! I find this newsletter to be very helpful, if a bit overwhelming at times. This current project they're working on should have great information for all of us to refer to. Adele

Thanks for the info Roadsmith. Since Vendio no longer has an active search, I think it would be a great idea if they would create a resource library on this site where they can place links to places like this. If a sellers bottom line can be enhanced by info like this, so can Vendio's. Are you listening Diana?
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

A resource library on Vendio is a great idea, sparkz. Some sites get referred to quite often as new people join the board and also when sellers venture into new categories.
A few years ago there were some bookseller threads here that all got nuked. Lots of good info was lost.
