Welcome to ABSA

The Auction & Book Sales Archive by BIBLIO includes millions of book and manuscript auction records curated over 50 years by both BIBLIO and the venerable American Book Prices Current (ABPC). It provides invaluable insight into the value, scarcity, and provenance of many of the most important books and manuscripts in the world.

Access to ABSA is open to anyone by subscription: rare book dealers, librarians, archivists, auction houses, private and public institutions, and book collectors.
