As of 1 October 2012 we are no longer offering the Stick. It has been superseded by ABPC Online, which works with smartphones and tablets as well as with computers.

The latest format for ABPC offers:

• Over a million priced reliable records available for instant, intuitive searching. You would have to pour over approximately 32 annuals to know what this one flash drive will tell you in seconds.
• The bibliographic references used by the ABPC staff – a knowledgeable group with more than 210 years combined experience – to create entries, issue points, and bases for name-authority decisions.
• A multiplicity of access points. Discover how many Baskervilles bound by Derome have been sold at auction or how many copies of Moby-Dick bound in black cloth have appeared; find all mentions of Goethe in letters and manuscripts as well as those written by him. EVERY WORD IS INDEXED.
• All prices in foreign currencies also expressed in U. S. Dollars at the time of sale.
• A convenient and easy way to access the in-depth and invaluable decades of trusted bibliographical information contained in the ABPC databases when you are beyond the range of American Book Prices Current Online.
• And a form of self-expression. You can wear the flash drive as a pendant or on your key ring.

Designed to be of use to librarians, dealers, appraisers, collectors, tax authorities and scholars, ABPC on a Stick is a handy companion that can be used for a variety of crucial tasks. Whether you are cataloging, collecting, pricing, appraising or seeking unpublished material to use in research, ABPC on a Stick will prove a useful, convenient source of assistance.

All you need to use ABPC on a Stick is a PC computer running Windows 98 or above, including Vista, 8 MB of RAM and a free USB2 port. For Windows 7, you need Professional or Ultimate, and then you need to download from Microsoft the free Virtual PC and XP mode programs. The Online version is Mac-compatible, but the Stick is not.
