CAMDEN — Craig Olson runs an antiquarian book dealership on Islesboro called Artisan Books and Bindery. He will be making a visit to the Camden Public Library Tuesday, March 3, 7 p.m., to give a talk on "Identifying First Editions: The Treasures You Might Find on your Bookshelf."

Olson said in a news release: "Ever wonder what you might have and what it might be worth? What makes a book rare? Is it age or scarcity?"

Craig Olson, a rare book dealer, will answer these questions as well as talk about the basics of identifying rare books, how to care for books, and offer tips and pointers for budding collectors.

"I will bring a number of show-and-tell items including a couple of fairly valuable items for attendees to look at and hold. As time allows, I would also like to invite attendees to bring in one item of their own for me to take a look at and give them an idea of value," he said.

Artisan Books and Bindery maintains an open shop on the small island of Islesboro, three miles off the Maine coast near Camden. In addition to general stock, they specialize in books on American history, art, architecture, interior design, fine press, and signed first editions.
