Rare Book Moment 8: How to build a great collection no matter where you're starting

 

Well, it's 2021 and we're back to some semblance of normalcy. The holidays are over and we're getting back to a regular routine. We hope your holidays were joyous and memorable. We're resuming our revisit to yesteryear as we consider another of are Rare Book Moments. 

This particular one is No. 8 in the series. It's a video we recorded back in 2012, and it offers some advice for building a meaningful collection of books no matter at what point you are starting. We hope  you'll enjoy this and get something useful from it. If you do, please leave us a comment, either below on this blog or over on the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining us and we'll see you again next time.
