About the Event
York Antiquarian Book Seminar (YABS), coordinated by the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association ABA (UK), offers an opportunity for leading booksellers and librarians to share their expertise and experience with would-be and fledgling booksellers, librarians and collectors in a comprehensive survey of the second-hand, antiquarian and rare book markets.
Basic procedures and problems are discussed formally and informally through a series of lectures, discussions, and practical hands-on workshops emphasizing cataloguing, pricing and bookselling. The seminar is designed for people of all levels of expertise, from beginners to those with years of experience who want to hone their skills in this rapidly changing field.
Who can apply and how?
Applicants must envisage a full-time career as an antiquarian bookseller but do not have to be a member of an ILAB-affiliated trade association. Applicants shall send a motivation letter (no longer than two pages) explaining how they would benefit from attending the seminar.…
