Rare Book Monthly

Articles - November - 2023 Issue

SPENCER W. STUART, Bibliophilic Advisor, chats with The Institute Library Community via ZOOM EVENT

Spencer Stuart, author of Contemporary Issues in Rare Book and Manuscript Collecting: A Handbook for Collectors and the Trade, speaks to questions of interest to today’s bibliophiles. Book collecting is not what it was 50, or even 15, years ago; Spencer will enlighten us as to the significance and opportunities afforded because of speedy evolution in the world of rare book collecting. What does it even mean, now, to collect rare books? It may not be what you think!

This is a Zoom-only event, and ticket purchase and registration is required.
