Australian Book Auction Records was a print based biennial publication, which recorded auction prices of Australasian books – usually rare, old and special copies.[1][2]

It was compiled by Margaret Joan Woodhouse[3] in the 1960s[4][5] and in the 1980s by Mrs Jill Burdon.[6][7][8] The final in the series was produced by Fiona Kells in 2006.[9]

Such systems of recording book auction records have been mainly superseded by online records of prices and sales.
