Would you be interested in hosting either an in-person or hybrid lecture by Kenneth Gloss,
the Boston based Brattle Book Shop proprietor and Antiques Roadshow appraiser?
He speaks at libraries, clubs, organizations, and museums throughout the country.
Ken has a strong national following and garners a lot of attention.

Ken gives many virtual and on-site presentations, which often include his personal appraisals done for the shop and that of material that he has seen on Antiques Roadshow for many years. 

    In his presentation, “A Firsthand Look at Secondhand Books,” Ken talks about some of his favorite finds and describes some of the joys of the ‘hunt.’ He will talk, in part, about the history of the shop, (which goes back to 1825), being a second-generation owner and growing up in the book business. He has many anecdotes to share about private and institutional collecting as well as guidelines for starting a collection. His talk lasts for about an hour. After that he opens it up for a Q&A session. Following that, Ken will give free verbal appraisals of books that attendees have brought in.

    Sponsors of some recent events include: The Grolier Club, The Boston Public Library, The California Book Club, The Fruitlands Museum, Pilgrim Hall Museum, Baltimore Bibliophiles as well as many other regional public libraries and historical societies.

   Ken is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and a Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society. He appraises for several universities including Harvard University, Boston University, Boston College, and Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Ken also hosts a bi-weekly podcast, Brattlecast: A Firsthand Look at Secondhand Books.

If you are interested,  he will be happy to discuss dates and times.
