In a free Zoom program, rare book specialist Ken Gloss will discuss the value of old and rare books.

An appraiser who is frequently seen on national TV, Ken will talk in part about the history of his historic bookshop, which goes back to circa 1825. He will talk about and show some of his favorite finds and describe some of the joys of the “hunt.” Following the talk and a question-and-answer session, Ken will give free verbal appraisals of books participants have on hand or will do so at his shop in Boston at a later scheduled date.

Registration is required.
