Have you ever wondered what makes a book collectable? Or what the words “first edition” really mean? In this hour and a half, we’ll answer all the questions you have (and never had) about book collecting. Come learn about the methods, resources, and terms collectors are using today. We’ll have a selection of MIT’s rare books on hand for viewing, including some with their own fascinating histories of private ownership. Whether you’re a veteran bibliophile, an aspiring collector, or just plain curious, you’re sure to come away from this event informed and inspired.
