Abstract
This is a dataset of auction and sale prices between 1903 and 2024 for the St. Dunstan Illuminated Editions, a set of de luxe editions published by George D. Sproul between 1901-1904. The data accompanies a forthcoming article introducing the St. Dunstan volumes (this record will be updated upon publication).
Notes
The following reference sources were consulted for titles, issue numbers, former owners and/or sellers, booksellers and/or auction houses, sales dates, and prices (asking, hammer, and/or realized): auction websites; American Book Prices Current (ABPC); Book Auction Records (BAR), Bookman's Price Index (BPI); Book Prices Current (BPC); Rare Book Hub (RBH); and selected newspaper articles (New York Times, New York Tribune, Philadelphia Inquirer, Publisher's Weekly) and auction catalogs. Sales records from these sources were cross-checked against each other, and supplemented with CPI-adjusted 2023 prices calculated using the MeasuringWorth.com Purchasing Power calculator.
