520 _a"Prices of Books" by Henry B. Wheatley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the fluctuations and changes in the prices of books in England over different periods. Wheatley's inquiry delves into the complexities of book pricing, discussing factors such as scarcity, quality, and historical context, alongside how these elements reflect broader economic and cultural developments. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the significance of understanding book prices as a means to gauge societal progress. It outlines the book's intention to provide a general overview of the prices of books throughout history, crafting a nuanced narrative that links the worth of books to economic conditions, intellectual growth, and the evolving tastes of society. Wheatley also draws on various historical examples, from early manuscripts to renowned literary collections, to offer context and insights that will inform the subsequent chapters.
