An Author Checklist where we detail the books of a single mystery author that captured the attention of collectors. It's the best reason to file your copies away for future reference. We include specific descriptions and estimated prices for First Editions. We also include an estimate of the print run, details of all known prepublication copies, and even the most obscure awards. Our First Firsts section lists all forthcoming First Mysteries.
First books are often the toughest to find once an author hits it big.
Each listing tells you whether the author will be on tour signing books, the expected publication month, and other details. We highlight the titles we expect to get the best review and bookseller attention. That can be critical for a mystery where small print runs mean that a single strong review can push all the First Editions out of the stores and up in price. Award news you can't find in any mainstream media. This is another terrific reason to file your Issues away for future reference.
