One Million and Growing:<br>A Brief Account of the <b>AED</b> --Please Read!
- by Michael Stillman
Detailed results from a PBA auction earlier this year
What's up next for the AED? Lots more. We will continue to add records, from the latest auction results to classic references from the past. It's an ongoing project and one million is merely a steppingstone, not a finish line. In fact, as I write, the AED has already jumped 32,644 entries beyond the million mark, and by the time you read this, there will be more. This is a resource that will only get better in the days and years ahead. Meanwhile, we are also working on new ways to make the AED even more helpful, so watch here for new announcements in the coming months.
Of course, we welcome anyone who would like to sign up now. The price is just $14.75 per month, or $141.60 for a full year. Just go to the following page and sign up for a "Research" Membership: www.americanaexchange.com/NewAE/registration/becomemember.asp. If you aren't sure, sign up as a one-week "Visitor" for $7.95, and that amount will be credited to a monthly or yearly membership if you elect to continue.
If you've subscribed to auction or other such databases before, you will recognize that this is a real bargain. And when it comes to auction results, you won't have to wait until year's end. Results are added as soon as they are received. Here at the AE our goal is to bring valuable resources to the book collecting and bookselling fields, and offer them for relative pocket change. We offer other services, and if you go to the link above, you will be able to learn about them too. They may be more than you need right now, but everyone can use the AED today to make wiser buying and selling decisions. In other words, this is a resource that will quickly pay for itself.
