The verification method using photographs of decisive markers seems reliable for collectors seeking certainty. However, the service offering seems somewhat narrow, and it is not immediately clear if this standard applies beyond the current featured collections.

11 Scribes is a service that provides verification of collectible first editions, acting as a dedicated check on the bibliographic markers that confirm whether a book is a genuine first edition, first printing. It documents individual author collections, with Stephen King and Richard Bachman listed as the first, covering 85 titles whose bibliographic points are checked against the established markers and then re-verified. The site indicates that additional author collections are planned. According to its stated method, a first edition is only confirmed when a photograph of the decisive marker — such as the priced flap, copyright statement, or binding — substantiates the book and jacket.
