Have you ever wondered about the value of your old books? When forgotten boxes in attics, basements, or garages are finally opened, you might uncover hidden treasures among the clutter. If you’ve stumbled upon an old or unique book, you may be curious to find out if it’s worth something. If you’re not an expert, it can be challenging to determine its value. Join us for an exclusive opportunity to explore the intriguing world of rare books with Ken Gloss or Brattle Book Shop in Boston.
