Rare Books Talk
October 29 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Kenneth Gloss, internationally-known rare book specialist, appraiser, and owner of the Brattle Book Shop in Boston, will give an in-person and virtual presentation about the “improbable finds” of his decades-long career and discuss the value of old and rare books.
The event is free and open to the public.
Ken, who is frequently seen on national TV, will talk in part about his historic Boston bookshop whose origin dates back to circa 1825. As a second-generation owner, Ken will discuss growing up in the book business, show some of his favorite finds while enjoying “the thrill of the hunt,” and explain how he appraises books and manuscripts. He has many fascinating anecdotes to share about private and institutional collecting as well as guidelines for building and maintaining a significant collection. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and free verbal appraisals of books participants have on hand (as time permits; additional appraisals may occur at his shop in Boston at a later scheduled date)
