The Antiquarian Outlook.

The Antiquarian Outlook.

Spencer W Stuart is proud to present The Antiquarian Outlook, a weekly audio/visual review of rare book auction results as well as Industry news.

 

The Antiquarian Outlook is totally independent, its producers do not hold inventory nor do they represent any consignments or acquisitions mentioned. This is the objective answer to, “What happened last week in Rare Books?”

 

In addition to the weekly digest, Spencer W Stuart, Collections Advisor’s YouTube channel will occasionally produce deep dives of Industry trends and contemporary Collecting practices.
