Window On Collecting Art & Antiques #3 - Vintage Books

Fine Artist and collector, Paul J. Katrich, talks about collecting books, and he shows interesting examples. Vintage, rare and antiquarian books can often be found at very low prices. Compared to computer files, books can be collected as physical objects, to be held and enjoyed in many ways. Beginning collectors can easily start a personal library. Literature, nonfiction and instructional titles are shown. Book art is displayed, including Gustave Dore illustrations in a copy of Dante's Inferno.
The video series, "Window On Collecting Art & Antiques" is written and presented by Paul J. Katrich. He has a lifelong passion for art and antiques, both as a collector and a fine artist. Paul Katrich started collecting antiques as a teenager, at the same time as becoming an accomplished painter. He then earned a degree in Art History and a Graduate Certificate in Archival Administration. For a few years Mr. Katrich owned a business restoring antiques, when he learned various techniques and inspirations of other artists, including methods to create ceramics. Finally in 1995 he decided to start a modern studio pottery, Katrich Studios, where he developed his own formulas and techniques for luster ceramics. Today Paul Katrich creates unique works that continue 1000's of years of ceramic traditions and progress. Luster Pottery by Paul J. Katrich can be seen in other videos. His pottery is available at The Showplace galleries in New York City, and at fine antiques & arts shows, listed at his website, www.Katrich.com.

I really enjoyed your video. I could tell you have a big passion for books. :) I would be very interested to see an overview of your collection, if perhaps one day you felt like doing that. I also prefer actual books rather than electronic copies. There's just something about the feel and smell of a book, new or old. :) I look forward to watching more videos from you.
Kind regards,
Sarah

I'm looking for the book titled The bloody sixth Ward which is a history of the sixth award in Oshkosh Wisconsin from the late 1800s into the 1900s.

I understand that "well under 100 dollars" is much less expensive than many books that people collect, but that's still plenty of money. I very rarely spend more than $20 on an antique/vintage book, preferably less than $10.

Mandela effect... Its spelled Berenstain on the book but he verbally says " Berensteen. "Spelled Berenstein. Mandela effect..

@ 4:08 "Hemp is not something that would end up on a book cover today"
This quote didn't age well. It's amazing how far the world has fallen in only 8 years.
