Excerpt from Book-Prices Current, Vol. 20: A Record of the Prices at Which Books Have Been Sold at Auction, From October, 1905, to July, 1906, Being the Season 1905-1906 In addition, seventeen other works realised 100 or over, while many more are credited with very substantial amounts, though on the whole it cannot be said that these high-priced books are as numerous as they have been on recent occasions. In one respect the most important sale of the season was that held by Messrs. Sotheby on May 7th and following days, when the late Mr. Truman's fine collection of works illustrated by George Cruikshank, was brought to the hammer. The collection was also rich in caricatures and other prints attributed to the same artist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
