Thirty-two years ago, Jake Chernofsky (Editor of AB Bookman's Weekly) and others established a week-long seminar in Denver aimed at providing education for persons interested in entering the used / OP / academic / rare book trade. Under various administrative configurations, the Seminar, long well-known and highly respected in the rare book community, has continued to fulfill this function to this day. Given the enormous changes in the antiquarian book world since 1978, the curriculum has changed accordingly,
with increasing emphasis on the realities of bookselling in the electronic age. Over the years more than 2100 students have graduated from the Seminar, many of whom have gone on to become prominent members of the bookselling community.
This year the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA), AbeBooks, Alibris, Barnes & Noble, Biblio.com, Bibliopolis, Foreseeing Solutions, the Independent Online Booksellers' Association (IOBA), and the Rocky Mountain Antiquarian Booksellers' Association (RMABA), will offer a total of eleven scholarships for the Seminar. Details are available at the Seminar website.

Please take a look at the Seminar's web site and help publicize its existence wherever you can, especially to those who are unlikely to be current subscribers to the bibliographical bulletin boards or who are otherwise unlikely to be connected to the American old book scene. The Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar performs an essential service to bibliographical pedagogy, and it deserves our collective support.
