Where do manuscript collections come from, and how do they end up at Stanford? Join the Stanford curators who are involved in the acquisition and the rare book dealers who are selling this collection, Mark and Joanna Funke of Funke Books and Kate Mitas, Bookseller, who will be on hand to display and discuss this research material.
Mark, Joanna, and Kate will also be happy to share information about the antiquarian book world and their own experiences with it, and they are looking forward to hearing from the researcher perspective and the library point of view. Bring your questions about the bookselling business, antiquarian book fairs, and the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA).
