ABAA diversity internship

We meet Alba Melgar-C'De Baca who is currently working as an intern at rare book firm Type Punch Matrix through a new internship program organized by the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA). The program places students or recent graduates who identify as Black, indigenous, or people of color with ABAA dealers for 10 weeks to learn the fundamentals of the book trade. It’s part of a larger ABAA initiative to promote a culture of diversity. We hear about Alba’s experiences in learning about what it takes to be an ABAA rare bookseller.
