WikiBibliographies. This service allows you to create and post bibliographies of subjects you collect or interest you, and read the wiki-bibliographies of others. Anyone can provide suggested additions to the WikiBibliography of another, providing the great reach to bibliographies that Wikipedia provides for encyclopedias. This service is new, but will be very important in the years ahead. Propose your WikiBibliography now, as only one per subject is allowed. Click here for WikiBibliographies.
AE Monthly. You already know what this is, since you are reading an AE Monthly article. It offers news and commentary on old books, published online monthly, on the first of each month. Click here for the AE Monthly front page. At the top of this page is a link to "Archives," which allows you to read or search all past issues. A link to "Reviews" lets you see our section of booksellers' catalogue reviews.
Books For Sale. Who needs another book listing site? Fair question. This certainly isn't the first or largest. It does have a greater concentration of collectible material than the typical used book site. Most significantly, potential buyers are connected directly to sellers, so you can freely ask questions and discuss items without any middleman in the way. You can actually build relationships if you like! We can do this because we collect no commissions on sales, allowing sellers more room on pricing. Click here to search Books For Sale.
Book Fair List and Calendar. We post upcoming book fair notices, both in the form of a Book Fair List and a Book Fair Calendar.
