The Value of Old and Rare Books with Ken Gloss

The Value of Old and Rare Books with Ken Gloss Online

Kenneth Gloss, proprietor of the internationally known Brattle Book Shop in Boston’s Downtown Crossing section, will give a Zoom presentation on Monday, January 23, 6:30 pm and will discuss the value of old and rare books.

Ken, a rare book specialist and appraiser who is frequently seen on Antiques Roadshow, will talk in part about the history of his historic bookshop (www.brattlebookshop.com/about), which goes back to circa 1825. He is 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. There is also a Q&A session at the conclusion of his talk.  Following the talk and question-and-answer session, Ken will give free verbal appraisals of books participants have submitted before hand or will do so at his shop in Boston at a later scheduled date.
