| Title: | The state of the rare book market today |
| Author(s): | Parker, John |
| Subject(s): | Rare book market |
| Abstract: | I hope that no one will read a defensive tone into these remarks, for the rare book librarian is at first startled at the thought of bringing a discussion of the rare book trade into a symposium on "the practical operations of libraries in [acquisitions] functions." We have become weary in the struggle to establish our belief that rare books are a fit subject for discussion among other "practical" aspects of librarianship. I happily substitute gratitude for defensiveness, noting that rare bookmen here are accepted as practical librarians, interested in and capable of discussing the broader aspects of building library collections. |
