The AE Comet for April: Maps, Atlases, Books with Maps and related materials.

The Hale-Bopp Comet

The Hale-Bopp Comet


By Bruce McKinney

The fourth issue of The Bookseller's Comet will appear in the April issue of AE Monthly. It will include printed material and objects offered by members pertaining to Maps, Atlases, Books with Maps and related materials. It's intended to provide an interesting cross section of material selected by AE members for collectors to evaluate for purchase. The catalogue will be posted as a Collector’s Guide for one year, will be fully accessible to search engines, postable as a link on discussion boards, and searchable both as a catalogue and individual listings on AE.

Listing members [Octavo, Quarto & Folio] may provide up to seven items. There are no commissions. Images are suggested but not required. It is our belief that images entice interest, answer questions and promote sales. Space for two images, with each listing, is provided. We will email all eligible members by March 15. Information is also provided on member Control Panels [previously called Home Page] via the link "Contribute Material to the next issue of the Comet." Upload links are provided there.

If you would like to join AE both to list your material in Books for Sale and to participate in this and future special interest catalogues and to gain year round continuous access to the AED click here for further information. An Octavo membership [or higher] qualifies.
