IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0RARE BOOK SCHOOL (RBS) OWNS A TEACHING COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 100,000 ITEMS ACQUIRED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL INSTRUCTION. THE COLLECTION IS DESIGNED AS A TEACHING LABORATORY, NOT AS A LIBRARY. A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF THE SCHOOL'S HOLDINGS WERE PURCHASED FOR LESS THAN $75 PER ITEM, OR WERE RECEIVED AS GIFTS (E.G., AS DUPLICATE OR DISCARDED BOOKS FROM LIBRARIES; AS DONATIONS FROM ANTIQUARIAN BOOKSELLERS; AS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FORMER STUDENTS; &C.).WHAT SETS RARE BOOK SCHOOL APART FROM OTHER PROGRAMS OF ITS KIND IS THE SCHOOL'S STRONG FOCUS ON BOOKS AS PHYSICAL OBJECTS.
