Books For Sale. Here is where you can list your books for sale, which can be found through searches on the site and the internet. All inquiries and requests to purchase are sent to you. There truly are no commissions. The price of your subscriptions covers all costs. Upload listings with standard programs or on the site. This is another service where just one mid-priced sale can pay for an annual subscription. Here is a brief description.

AE Footnotes. This service allows you to aggregate records from the AE Bibliographic Database, and attach them as a footnote to a for-sale listing, descriptions on your website, WikiBibliographies, or anywhere else. Check them out here.

Web Catalogue. This allows you to keep detailed records of your collection, including purchase and sale prices needed for tax or estate purposes. Can also be uploaded to AE's Books For Sale. Here is a link.

There are a few more things on this site, but we'll let you explore them on your own. If you have any questions, you can contact us here. If you would like to sign up, and we heartily recommend you do, just click here now. We have a free membership that will get you a once-a-month emailed table of contents for AE Monthly and a few other things (no other emails and no, we will not share your name). This is also the place where you can sign up for a paid subscription, a one-week trial, monthly automatic billing (good until cancelled) or a one-year membership. Click here now to sign up.
