"If you think "rare books" are dusty old volumes from centuries past - that can only be bought for thousands of dollars - think again. With the market for modern first editions booming, collecting books today can be surprisingly easy - and surprisingly profitable. An insider's guide to the used and rare book market, Book Finds tells you all you need to know about: first editions and reader's copies; auctions and catalogs; how to recognize valuable books and sell them for the highest possible price; what's going up in value and what's going down; avoiding costly mistakes that many beginners make; what bookstore buyers look for; and the secrets of professional "book scouts." Also includes a new chapter on buying and selling books on the Internet." "With tricks of the trade and an index of the 1,001 "most collectible" books and authors, anyone can learn to find hidden treasures on the bookshelves. You already know the joy of browsing for books. Now you can find out how to make your hobby profitable, too."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Successfully managing rare book collections requires very specific knowledge and skills. This handbook provides that essential information in a single volume. Rare Book Librarianship for the 21st Century is the first new rare books handbook of practice in 25 years. Authored by two special collections experts with extensive field experience, this book is also the first to discuss the role of digital technologies in managing a rare book collection. After a fascinating discussion of the history and current state of rare book libraries, this handbook provides a comprehensive account of the core skills and knowledge needed to be a successful rare book librarian. Topics include best practices for handling, housing, and conserving rare materials; collection development techniques; and user education and outreach. This book will serve as a handbook for practitioners in academic settings, large public libraries, and special libraries, and as a textbook for students in MLIS courses on rare book librarianship and curatorship.
