Learn about rare and antique books with Kenneth Gloss, proprietor of Boston’s Brattle Book Shop. Ken, a rare book specialist and appraiser frequently seen on TV, will talk partly about the history of his historic bookshop, where 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 will share fascinating anecdotes about private and institutional collecting and guidelines for building and maintaining a significant collection. Bring your family heirlooms, as Ken will have time to look at a few antiques during this event!
