Large collections of books can be daunting prospects for the generalist appraiser. Tom Lecky, AAA will offer insights into how to approach those seemingly endless shelves and to identify potential rarities and value. While sometimes the most obvious books are the least valuable, there are times when the most unlikely suspects are real gems. Tom will share resources to help generalists sort through the bibliographic quagmire.
