Join Iowa Bibliophiles as we welcome rare book seller Patrick Olson for his talk "I Know What You Bought Last Summer: The Stories Behind Your Books"

Bookseller Patrick Olson will share the stories behind some favorite things that have happened to land at the University of Iowa. Sometimes amusing, always illuminating, his tales will provide a broader picture of the rare book trade and a behind-the-scenes look at how it all works.

This event is free and open to everyone. For the safety of our guests, this event will be on Zoom. It will also be recorded and added to Special Collections & Archives YouTube channel at a later date. There will be time after the talk for a Q&A, which will not be recorded. For questions, please contact Elizabeth Riordan at elizabeth-riordan@uiowa.edu
