Kenneth Gloss, proprietor of Brattle Book Shop near Downtown Crossing, will give a free and open talk on the value of old and rare books.  Ken, who is also a frequent guest appraiser on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow, will talk in part about the history of his historic bookshop, which goes back to circa 1825. He is a second-generation owner. Ken will talk about and show some of his favorite finds and describe some of the joys of the “hunt,” as well as explain what makes a book go up in value. There will also be a Q&A session. Following his talk, Ken will give free verbal appraisals of all books that attendees bring with them.

This program is cosponsored by the Holliston Historical Society, the Sherborn Historical Society and the Sherborn Library.
