Subject: [Ohiolink] Book Collecting Lecture -- Tuesday, April 13 at 5:00 pm

The Kelvin Smith Library's invites you to attend the annual lecture on book collecting that will occur next Tuesday (April 13 at 5:00 pm).  Our speaker, Rebecca Romney, will discuss "Mythbusting Book Collecting."  She will discuss why book collecting is not an outdated or a non-inclusive hobby.  Rebecca Romney is a rare book dealer, appraiser, and author who is the co-founder of Type Punch Matrix, a Washington DC-area rare book firm specializing in pivotal works from every field. She has been in the trade since 2007, when she was hired by Bauman Rare Books.  She began appearing on the History Channel's television show "Pawn Stars" as the rare book specialist in 2011. Romney is one of the longest running specialists (and the only regular woman specialist) on the show. Additionally, Romney is the co-founder and one of the judges of the Honey & Wax Prize, an annual award for an outstanding book collection built by a woman who is age 30 or younger and living in the United States. As a researcher and collector, Romney's personal interests lie in genre fiction, especially science fiction, fantasy, and romance. In 2017, Rebecca published her first book: Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History.
