Brattlecast # 146 - Prepping a Book Collection

Brattlecast: A Firsthand Look at Secondhand Books - A podcast by Brattle Book Shop

On today’s episode we’re answering a question from a listener: If you want to sell a large library, what can you do to prepare before Ken, or someone like Ken, comes to take a look? The good news is, we don’t really care how tidy or organized your shelves are, within reason—in fact, we’ve almost certainly seen much worse. Our top tip is to decide in advance what you’re keeping, and, if there’s anyone else with sentimental feelings about the collection, to involve them in the process from the start. Listen to learn more about book buying, and email [email protected] if you have any questions for Ken.
