The logos are quite different for 4E and 3.xE, so looking at the covers will be a good indicator.
Yes, those would be a bit trickier...
Publication date?
Also, if you open the 3.x book to the credits page, if it was written for 3.5 is will usually say: "This product uses updated material from the v3.5 revision."
However, it seems the books published in the second half of 2003 after the 3.5 core books were released do not say this, so even though they were published after the 3.5 release, they may or may not be written with the 3.5 rules.
And if you expand your books into third party publishers, a lot of them will say on the back cover which version of the core books are required for play.
Err... isn't An Adventurer's Guide to Eberron 4th Edition?
Err... isn't An Adventurer's Guide to Eberron 4th Edition?
It was released before 4th edition was, and contains absolutely no game rule material (as far as I recall), so it seems safe to put it in the 3.5 camp (plus it isn't listed in WotC's current product catalog, which lists all other 4th edition products since the start).
I'm trying to find it, but there's a hilarious graph that details the number of books published from the start of D&D to I think 2009.
TSR at it's worst was pumping out 90+ books a year.

Yes, its a debatable one, it was brought out before 4e to bridge the gap - as stated it has no rules but does have the 4e D&D logo, but it is effectively system neutral.

Is this it? It's in pages/year, not books/year though.
EDIT: No, it's probably the one I'm linking below. It's from this thread
EDIT #2: From the same thread, here's a graph with setting-specific stuff separated out.
D&D book graph #2 from ENWorld
EDIT #3: ...and one with novels included. That thread rocks!

It has a book list database for a huge amount of RPGs
