I'm just beginning to work with books, and what you suggested is the highest league, as long as these books do not even discuss gotov.Iz lifetime editions will only include Pushkin, including in this thread I have absolute beginner, but the theme of lifetime publications interesting and I think is very promising in terms of investments in antique books.

Among the lifetime editions of Russian classics greatest interest was aroused by three publications AS Pushkin in the journal "Telescope", published in 1831. These publications have been curious by the fact that apart from the poems of the poet, they contain two critical articles, signed by one of the aliases of the poet - Feofilakt Kosichkin. The magazine found its buyer for 160,000 rubles.
Interest was the publication of the Russian writer, playwright, literary and theater critic, journalist and historian Nikolai Alekseevich Field (1796-1846) devoted to the life and work of legendary personality of the XIX century - Napoleon Bonaparte. It was sold for 190,000 rubles. Not the last role in the successful sale of the lot played his remarkable collector's safety - that everyone was dressed in a wonderful cover polukozhanny era.
We note also the sale of three bibliophilic lithographed folders Russian artists of the early XX century - AP Ostroumova-Lebedeva, BM Kustodiev, KF Juon. The first two were sold for 130,000 rubles, the last of 70,000 rubles. In this beautiful, collector position on the antiques market, these publications are extremely rare!
In our opinion, the first second-hand trades were successful. We thank all who responded to our proposals for cooperation and invitations to participate in the auction.
We hope that in addition to second-hand auction, collectors, enthusiasts and connoisseurs bukinistki books we will combine club meetings and conversations we have had in the building Resource Center (Gogol Boulevard d.8) twice a month on Saturdays at 12.00.

In anticipation of the auction "Bukinist" (http://artinvestment.ru/news/auctnew..._bukinist.html) have traditionally asked for comments from Anatoly Borovkov, an expert in direction. View was skeptical. I picked up from the mail correspondence, and publish with the permission of Borovkov (without cuts).

Hello. After reviewing lots of auction Sovkom regret that there was nothing to write about the auction can not, for ethical reasons. After all, I also do books. In fact, the latest book auctions held in Moscow for the past two months is difficult to call auctions, but rather a sale on the auction rules. This comes from reading and evaluation of books offered for them. The vast majority of these books can be purchased in the free trade in most antique shops in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Today, self-respecting company can collect material for this auction and hold it no more than twice a year. Or to arrange an auction to sell a large collection of collector. Yet the last "auction" - this is a normal sale. Visibility trade creates lots of times, only the initial low price of the lot. Today, compared to other book auctions, more properly, yet look only auctions "Empire", since they just started to engage with books and approach this with caution, not put up for sale defective copies of the ordinary books derived from the seal "and" make a Xerox of pages " . Although they are sometimes lured to their auctions unusually low initial prices, which then grow to several times during the auction, which was not possible to observe any of the well-known international auctions, where the estimate is not privyshayutsya more than doubled. So извените, I expressed my opinion, but from Comment particular auction refuse.
