Event
Rennerod. Old books and manuscripts often contain their secrets: even though they are sometimes decades old, they can be almost worthless or, at best, worth a fortune.
The interested parties receive all information on meaning, preservation and estimated value of the submitted books or manuscripts. From the description of the condition to the historical incorporation of the exhibit, all open questions about origin and age are expertly clarified. What most people do not know is that old books that have been left unattended in an old closet for decades are sometimes worth a small fortune. But is it worth a costly restoration of a binding and the treasures treasured for generations have become expensive collector's items?
What is behind the illegible entries in Grandmother's journal or on the backs of the old black and white photos? What about the professional storage and storage of a valuable old book? With more than 40 years of experience in trading valuable books, the antiquarian bookshop of Marlies and Helmut R. Lang in Rennerod offers for the second time this year to the public this free opportunity of advice and help with the declassification of a collector's library. Starting with a detailed description of the condition of the book cover or the paper used, the typography and the illustrations contained, many facts of an exhibit will be appraised. Often the bookworm has already set in the paper or the typeface and the individual pages are brown in color with so-called foxing. How do strokes and handwritten marginal notes affect the value of a book and how do you interpret the entries from the previous owners? All this is content-rich information that ultimately leads to a guide of the book or even an entire collection. So it's well worth a closer look in the bookcase, whether ideal or material treasures are slumbering for a long time and just waiting to finally be rediscovered.
In order to avoid longer waiting times, in any case you will be asked for pre-registrations at the telephone number 02664-227.
