• Price - The price of this publication. Enter a single price, preceeded with a currency symbol. For books published in both the USA and Canada, only the USA price should be noted (the original price of a 40 year old book isn't relevant in a purchasing sense anymore - the information is used to differentiate print editions, or to construct statistics on book pricing, which is difficult to do if 2 prices are present). Prices under a dollar are listed as e.g. $0.25, for 25¢. Odd pricing formats can be ignored -- for example, occasionally a price of 20¢ will be printed as 20c; this can be entered as $0.20. For books priced in other currencies, use an appropriate symbol; British currency should be indicated by a UK pound sign: "£", but if you can't generate one on your keyboard you can use an L: "L2.50" means two pounds fifty pence. Note that for Windows machines, the "Character Map" system accessory can be used to generate the pound sign as well as other characters. For older British books, 3/6 is used to mean three shillings and sixpence. If there is any ambiguity about the price, add an explanation in the Notes field. Overprinted and changed prices should use the most recent price; if the price change is via a label, however, the price change should be ignored. For example, British distribution of some American magazines included a label giving a British price; these are not the British reprint editions of those magazines, but simply American magazines with a label affixed.
