Their book talks will cover topics such as "What makes books valuable, and identifying first editions" (11 am to noon. both days, Friday & Saturday), "Important literary works; Twain, Hemingway, Faulkner, and others" (Sat. 1 am to 2 pm), "Books altering the course of history; Darwin, Galileo, Newton, Luther's Bible, the Saint James Bible, Freud, Einstein, and more" (Sat. 3 pm to 4 pm), and "'Art' books; fine bindings, prints, maps, and limited edition books containing original

Dennis is originally from Orleans County and Janet is from the Philly area. Dennis was an active cave explorer and still is an avid white water canoeist. Janet is a gardener and kayaker who likes riding Lake Ontario's waves. After retiring, Dennis & Janet turned their love of the outdoors, books and reading into a vintage, antique, and rare book business, with an emphasis on adventure narratives.
