A great story today from @MPRnews on the CABS-Minnesota Diverse Voices Fellowship, including interviews with two of the 2022 fellows.

[MPR News @MPRnews]

The rare and antiquarian books field has historically been dominated by white men, and difficult to enter for anyone without a prior connection. A new fellowship at a Minnesota rare book seminar is aimed at bringing more diverse voices into the industry.

Rob Rulon-Miller is at the podium for the annual CABS-Minnesota benefit auction. Bids have been strong.

Any confusions between our sale and that of the advertised Reese Sale on the screen next to Rob is entirely understandable.

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

It might not surprise you to learn that @briancassidy and @honeyandwaxbks have engaging and productive things to say about marketing your bookselling business.

I take on a CABS-Minnesota cataloging exercise book. (Price is notional, NFS.)

Good morning from Northfield, Minnesota! Buckle up for day two of instruction at CABS-Minnesota. @briancassidy is about to drop his business basics lecture to kick us off in 30 minutes!

Back when the C in CABS stood for Colorado, RMABA supported the seminar—and they support us still. We thank them for helping us carry our history with them into the future!

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

Registration has opened and students are checking in for the CABS-Minnesota seminar! The donor poster is now on display!

Going back to our roots this week—Granary began as Origin Books, a shop in Minneapolis, MN in '81.

This week, @mckinniburgh + @ConleyLowrance will be at @BookSeminars to join in the fun.

On the ground in St. Paul! Drinking a “Minnesota Manhattan,” reading Michael Nelson’s savage novel of the English book trade, Knock or Ring (1957), in preparation for our session on auctions at #cabs2022 this week.

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

Another day, another reason to thank our scholarship donors—this is a shout-out to all our CABS Alumni who have annually given back to support other seminarians experience the seminar!

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

@MuneageDaydream It's true about @lisabaskin -- she's aces in our book as well!

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

The countdown to CABS-Minnesota continues, and so does our gratitude for our scholarship support.

Today we thank @Bibliopolis — they build antiquarian bookseller websites, and they support two scholarships for the seminar.

They work hard for the book trade—and we thank them!

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

Our scholarship countdown in the week before CABS-Minnesota continues, with a shout-out today to @Biblio_com — funding both a scholarship and literacy education all in one fell swoop!

We thank them for their continued support.

[CABS-Minnesota @BookSeminars]

Today’s note of thanks on the CABS-Minnesota broadside of scholarship donors:

The Between the Covers scholarship.

BTC has been deeply involved in the mission of the seminar for years—their annual scholarship is but one instance of support. Thank you!
