Prices

 

The following table presents edition prices at the time of publication. These prices are collected from contemporary Tragara Press price lists, edition prospectuses, letters, and invoices.

Alan Anderson started issuing price lists when he became a full-time printer, in 1974. Prices for titles published before 1974 are harder to find. Many of the early publications, however, were not for sale.

Alan Anderson did not include out of print publications in his price lists, which is the main reason why the prices of many special issues (presumably, the first to sell completely) are missing from the present table.

The exact source for each price is mentioned on the edition's page.
