- Iowa Bibliophiles is a group for book lovers and enthusiasts of all kinds. Join us each month as we bring in a guest speaker to talk about some aspect of book collecting, book history, book making, and more.
On September 9, 2020, rare book dealer Adam Weinberger (of Adam Weinberger Rare Books) sat down with us to discuss the emotional ride of his occupation, from the highs of closing a deal to the lows of missing out on a treasure.
Typically these monthly meetings are in person, but 2020 has allowed us to expand into the virtual world, recording these talks on Zoom and posting them here on UA-cam to enjoy.

Adam is a great story teller.
Thank you for this. Adam Weinberger is an engaging speaker whose enthusiasms tend to be contagious, although apparently not all the time. Bookselling can be a tough game at any level.
Adam is fantastic!!! He could inspire many future generations.
OMgosh I would have given anything to dig through those packed old houses you spoke about! That's what I call the "hustlers rush". I get it when buying & selling antique clothing & furniture.
I can fully relate to the attachment to what was purchased with the purpose of resale. As a lover of books, this is a consistent hurdle in book selling😂
Very nice talk
You should post a pic of that piece of old language on reddit!
Great
I wonder if anyone figured out what the mysterious manuscript with the unusual language was?
