Is There New Value in Your Old Books?
- Jan 31, 2013 · 6:00 PM
TIP: the best online source for knowledge on the value of your books is--

UPDATE: Get there BY 6:15 to "Meet up" -- at the back row of seats then at 6:15 we go as a group to some better seats, otherwise you may end up seating yourself alone. Actual presentation begins at 6:30 at this "Lecture Hall". Meanwhile, share your books for feedback & socializing.
Lecture Hall is capacity 220 people so get your better seats & be on time. This event is well publicized. Main Branch at level L2. From the parking garage take the lift to G then descend to L2.
Free appraisals of one of your books from this expert book dealer after the lecture according to the link posted below. That is also your socializing opportunity. Incidentally gives you info about the nature of the value of antiques in general.
Please arrive early & introduce yourselves. (part of the fun is finding each other, by asking: are you with the Nerd Fun Meet up? That is a great conversation starter with anybody.)

Wish I knew I was very late because I thought Central square was the main library.

Great idea. Great lecture. Kenneth Gloss is an accomplished speaker: He wouldn't let that crying baby take the spotlight! The show must (and did) go on. And I'm very glad it did. But I met only two other Nerd Fun members (Chris and Michael). I'm sorry that more of you didn't get to enjoy this event.

When does a book get so old that age matters more than condition?
100 years?
200 years?
300 years?

I once brought into Ken Gloss's shop (The Brattle Book Store in Downtown Crossing) a copy of Truman Capote's "The Grass Harp" autographed by Capote. I thought sure it would be worth something, but Gloss declined it, saying the binding and dust jacket weren't in good enough condition for him to get a good price for it. So condition matters.
