"Trade Princes Current of American First Editions was issued each year from 1937 to 1940 as a trade tool for the rare and second-hand book trade. Its reception by the trade has assured its publishers that a real need is being met."
.
An interesting example of a short run annual periodical for book collectors. Some of the prices will amaze you...and not just the inexpensive ones. Donn Byrne first editions, for example, sold for more in 1937 than 2023 ... even accounting for inflation!
