'Antiques Roadshow' Name to Give Free Talk in Charlestown

Mark your calendars instead of your books, because the latter might be worth something.

Kenneth Gloss, proprietor of the historic Brattle Book Shop in Boston’s Downtown Crossing section, will give a free talk on Tuesday, May 12, complete with a Q&A session and free verbal appraisals for attendees who bring in books.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Bunker Hill Museum on 43 Monument Sq. in Charlestown.

Gloss, who has frequently appeared as a guest appraiser on PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow,” will elaborate on the value of old books. He is the second-generation owner of his bookshop, which dates back to around 1825.
