Gregor Books Bookseller and Collector Seminars
So You Wanna Be A Booksella? Find out when David Gregor is conducting seminars locally (or not locally). An ABAA member and successful bookseller, David conducts essential seminars that will teach the new bookseller how to succeed, what to focus on, how to build stock, and make money. The new book collector learns how to go about building a strong collection, how to grade and review condition, and many other useful things. Strong, practical advice - and you old timers out there should check it out as well - I learned a great deal (or rather remembered a lot of things I shouldn't have forgotten) at his seminars.
