Dear Colleagues, Please note that the article in Choice is by Frederick Lynden. I am sorry for the misspelling below. Thanks, Narda Tafuri From: ACQNET-L [mailto:acqnet-l-bounces_at_lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 11:14 AM To: acqnet-l_at_lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [ACQNET-L] Book price inflation Hi, Lindsey - I think that you could get the article: 2015 Prices of U.S. and Foreign Published Materials through Interlibrary loan. It is only a chapter within the Library and Book Trade Almanac. Please note that while YBP has annual pricing information, it is NOT an index. You could also take a look at Frederick Linden's article which appears in the Almanac but which is also published in Choice<http://search.proquest.com/pubidlinkhandler/sng/pubtitle/Choice/$N/47258/DocView/1667678147/abstract/903396FE191C49FBPQ/8?accountid=28588>52.8<http://search.proquest.com/indexingvolumeissuelinkhandler/47258/Choice/02015Y04Y01$23Apr+2015$3b++Vol.+52+$288$29/52/8?accountid=28588> (Apr 2015): 1278-1281. Let me know if you have any specific questions about the article and I will be happy to get answers.

We stopped getting the Library and Book Trade Almanac a few years ago (also can't locate a current copy nearby) and the 2014 Prices of U.S. and Foreign Published Materials only goes up to 2013 for books and has a one-year embargo. YBP has not published a new Annual Book Price Update either. I need this ASAP for our annual collection valuation. Any thoughts? Thanks!
