As traditional bookselling and the new world of book buying meet on the net it is now becomes possible on AE to footnote electronic selling presentations. Such footnotes are actually links to footnote files of bibliographic, dealer and auction records in the AED and every record is potentially useable for this purpose. In time such presentations will be the norm among the more sophisticated dealers and auction houses and buyers will respond favorably. This is simply treating customers as the intelligent people they are.
The website, as you have probably noticed, has undergone change. Our goal is to make the site highly intuitive. The menu now runs down the left side of the home page and every element of the site is accessible there. Both the free elements of the site, AE Monthly and Auction Search, are more transparent. The paid services are easier to find, faster and more intuitive. Descriptions have been rewritten and simplified.
The home page now contains a rotating window that randomly displays different advertisements in our display advertising section. AE Monthly's articles also randomly appear on the home page. If you missed an article perhaps you'll see it here and can simply click through to read it. We are also providing an easy search by term or keyword to find all AE Monthly articles [Archives] that may apply to your subjects of interest.
As has been the case since Day One we will be continuing to add features and revise existing ones as the year progresses. We hope you will take the time to try out the site's expanding capabilities.
