From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Book Collector is an American journal that deals with all aspects of the book.

"After AB Bookman's Weekly, the American Book Collector was the most important trade magazine on the American scene in the last half of the 20th century, with many interesting articles by many renown authors and book people... (...) The magazine included book reviews, auction announcements and reports, obituaries, book fairs, both display and classified ads, catalogue announcements, and other departments of interest to both the collector and dealer."
