Congratulations for Jayne Waldron of Sea Chest Books in Massachusetts. Jayne has won a scholarship to the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, a week-long educational event in August for booksellers, librarians and collectors.
Attendees learn about buying and selling books on the Internet, the auction market for antiquarian books, care and preservation of antiquarian books, pricing and appraisals, and compiling catalogues and online descriptions – and much more. AbeBooks staged an essay contest to pay the tuition fee of $1,095 for one lucky person, as well as provide them three free months of subscription fees for listing on AbeBooks. And Jayne is our winner.
Read her essay and learn more about her quest to become a bookseller. Find out why Lynd Ward’s God’s Man is so important to her.
