Volumes of knowledge compiled and compacted onto a sleek, small and highly portable flash drive. ABPC on a Stick works precisely the same way as the CD version did, except faster – and the flash drive is tougher and more robust than a CD.

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.
