What websites can teach me about how to assess the price of rare books and illustrations?
Sunday, August 31st, 2008What subjects should I major in in college if I want to work with old art/books/artifacts?
Monday, August 4th, 2008primapeache asked:
The occupations I’m interested in are museum curator, rare books dealer, that sort of thing. I also take three languages, which I heard helps in these fields, but what else should I look into?
Art history, definitely that one, but since I suspect I may head more towards artifacts (old furniture, decor, writings) and not art as much, any additional suggestions?

Lesser known/rare books similar to Ruth Rendall books?
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Jeanne asked:
I am looking for a present for my boss’ wife and she really likes Ruth Rendall books but she has read them all. Do you know of any books that are similar but also kind of rare/unusual as she has read a lot of mystery books and will be familiar with all the well known authors & their books. Something set in Canada would be extra good as she is Canadian. Thanks

How can I find the current copyright owner of rare genealogical books, especially if the author is deceased?
Sunday, June 29th, 2008KrisAn asked:
My wife and I love family history and genealogy. We often run across hard-to-find genealogical records published in older rare books, sometimes self-published. We would love to find the copyright owners of these books and see if they would open it up to the public domain or a permissive license. How do we find current copyright owners, especially since most of the original authors are deceased? If we find the legal owner, what release form should they sign to allow the genealogical content or index to be made freely available on the Internet?
