Carol posted her thoughts and impressions of the 29th Annual Colorado Antiqurian Seminar on the Bibliophile Bullpen.
It is definitely worth reading, for both people who could make it and those who were absent (like myself).
If you are going to be around Queensbury, NY August 11th, then you may want to check out The Warren County Historical Society’s antique appraisal sale. Not only will they be selling antiques, they will also have antique appraisers on hand to analyze your antiques.
The cost per appraisal will be $5.00 for one item and $10.00 for 3. There will also be:
“Selected antique items, donated by society members and friends, as well as a variety of used books, will be available for purchase.”
Finally, a central place where authors and audiences can get together. If you need to stay on top of various book tours (to get signings for those first editions 
), or just want to stay on top of the industry, this is the site for you.
Here is the official launch press release:
BookTour.com, a free online service connecting authors and audiences, announced its public launch today. In private beta since June 1, BookTour.com has been showcased at Book Expo America 2007 and the first O’Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing Conference, where company chairman Chris Anderson (Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine and author of The Long Tail) was a featured presenter.
“BookTour.com uses what’s best about the Internet—decentralization, low barrier to entry and universal access—to create a one-stop tool for book promotion,” said Anderson. “For authors, BookTour makes locating speaking venues totally painless. For the community at large, there’s now a single site for information on when a favorite author is coming to town.”
