ABAA membership is a privilege extended only to those booksellers who have demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, ethics, and expertise in the trade. Our more than four hundred members hail from an impressively diverse array of backgrounds. Some have spent their entire careers in the book business, while others have been lighthouse keepers, poets, helicopter pilots, and professional musicians. Some members own brick-and-mortar shops, some operate internet-only businesses from their home or office, some fashion livelihoods from exhibiting at book fairs. Many combine these retail strategies, or add services such as appraising and collection development. A few earn additional income and professional prestige from research and writing. But all our members share an appreciation for the printed page and for the scholarly and ethical practices which exemplify professional bookselling. ...

Bookseller interviews

Bernard Gordon

Bernard Gordon founded The Book and Tackle Shop in 1953 while he was in college. The shop was a perfect expression of his passions: books, the academic study of the oceans, and the practical knowledge of the sea. An author of both academic tomes and children’s books, Bernard grew up with books and, while his career was in education, he was always involved in the antiquarian book trade. Sadly, Bernard passed away at the age of 80 in 2010. ABAA Member from 1978-2010. Interviewed by Michael Ginsberg on November 15, 2009 at the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair.
