Book Collecting with Charles Dickens:
Swan’s Fine Books
1381 Locust St, Walnut Creek
Thursday, July 17th, 2014
7:30pm – 8:30pm | FreeHow do I tell if a book is a first edition? What IS a first edition?
What makes some books worth many hundreds – or thousands – of dollars?
How do I know if a collectible book is worth the asking price?
If you have ever wondered about the above…
…please join us on Thursday evening, July 17th, for an informal discussion about book collecting, using examples from the works of Charles Dickens.
As you know if you’ve visited our shop, we have a broad range of books available – “better used”, “collectible” and “rare”. This month’s event is geared towards the book collector – whether an advanced collector or one who just dreams about collecting – to give you some broad knowledge and commonly used terms to prepare you for the adventures of book collecting!
We will be using Charles Dickens as our example, so those of you who are admirers of Mr. Dickens will hear much about his work during the evening.
Leading the discussion will be Vic Zoschak, ABAA, one of the country’s foremost experts on Charles Dickens and a regular presenter on the topic of book collecting at the ABAA book fairs each year.
Since seating is limited, please R.S.V.P. to hold a space. There is no charge to attend and light refreshments will be served.
