How can we help in 2018?
Change is now embedded in the fields of rare books, manuscripts, maps and ephemera. Knowledge continues to increase, even explode, and as it does, the value and relative importance of material changes. Add to that an evolving collector base and heavy dealer inventories and it sometimes seems to be a blur.
We will be trying to support you this year, be you a collector, institution or dealer. How can we best do this? Tell us what you see as the problems and opportunities for the field. We will try to address them.
Do so by adding your comments to this article and/or emailing me directly at bmckinney@rarebookhub.com.
Begin your replies with I’m a dealer, dealer-collector or someone associated with an institution.
How long have you been involved in the field?
What do you have? Could be books, manuscripts, maps and ephemera, Also paintings, other artwork and furniture. Or other and if so, what?
If buying, selling or both, how do you do this? On listing sites, from catalogs, at shows, at shops, or at auction?
You stock or collection is probably worth about?
Your expectations for the next 10 years?
