  • The Changing Rare Book Trade, 1950–2000 11
    The Changing Rare Book Trade, 1950–2000 11 Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern THE CHANGING RARE BOOK TRADE, 1950–2000 THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TRANSFORMED the American rare book trade over the past fifty years have been welcomed by some but have daunted oth- ers. Due largely to the introduction and almost universal acceptance of computerization, along with major economic shifts, so-called reforms in education, and advances in the technology of travel, the results are ap- parent in the altered relations among the triumvirate of rare book dealer, collector, and librarian, as well as in their attitude toward their quarry. The traditional sources of supply and the markets for distribution have suffered a sea change. Yet, despite all this, the trade of rare books has survived. Some of its dramatic history over the past half-century can be seen in the story of one antiquarian book firm. In mid-September 1944, Leona Rostenberg entered the business of buying and selling antiquarian books. Her decision to do so had been preceded by several years of graduate study, a period of research abroad, and a five-year apprenticeship with a learned dealer from Austria who, because of World War Two, was now ensconced among his books in New York’s East sixties. This background intensified Leona’s passion for early printed continental books. In fact, it was the perfect background for any future dealer in the field of early European books. But how many dealers can boast of having similarly appropriate backgrounds today? The announcement of Leona’s entry into rare book dealing was accom- panied by a little fanfare.

When I left the Institute for Retired Professionals to help form QUEST, my desire was to pursue learning in a relaxed, sociable environment. My life has been enriched by new friendships and stimulating courses. I challenged myself by venturing into fields outside my background as an English teacher by doing research and giving presentations in courses on art and architecture. However, my great passion is theater. I am grateful for the opportunity to coordinate and present plays of interest to our vibrant community and to share with other presenters and readers over many years. Another strong interest of mine is the reading and discussion of the classics with fellow classmates and dedicated coordinators. Serving on Council and also as vice president has been a privilege. Having been on the membership committee and acting as chair has enabled me to meet many new Questers. Thanks to our organization, life has been fulfilling and stimulating. WHAT HAS QUEST MEANT TO ME?
