Jon Gilbert Fox, photographer, and bibliophile since birth, will present a talk on book collecting from a very personal perspective, while giving lessons on what to look for, how to identify first editions and rarities, what to avoid, and will share adventures in the jungle and jumble of books, as well as unique encounters with their authors. He’ll also explain what is meant by “association copies” and present some interesting examples. And, you might even hear about how he found out one of his volumes turned out to be best copy of that book in the world.
