Join Ken Gloss, proprietor of Brattle Books and nationally televised appraiser for a special event at the Thomas Crane! Ken specializes in books & manuscripts and will be joining us for an informative talk and Q&A. Guests are encouraged to bring any rare or old books they have for a free appraisal by Ken Gloss!
Brattle Books has been run by the Gloss family since 1949. Ken started working for his father, George, at the age of 5 and has been working here full-time since 1973. It is rumored that Ken's first word as a baby was "book." He attended Boston Latin school and graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Mr. Gloss is a past president of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America's New England Chapter. He also sits on the Associate Board of the Boston Public Library. He appraises books and libraries for several universities including Harvard University, Boston University, Boston College, and Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
