The premiere of a new episode of Listen to Violity is next. This time, Denys Minin managed to look inside the book business and learn a lot about antiquarian publications.
The host was visited by Vitaliy Ryabtsev, a collector of old books, bookseller and publisher from Zaporizhzhia.
He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the publishing house RVV (Publisher Ryabtsev), which specializes in publishing historical research and historical documents, including censuses of Ukraine in the 16th and 19th centuries.

Vitalii is known to our platform users under the nickname PBB. On Violity, he not only actively buys books, but also sells them, and with great success.
In particular, he told Denys about how he recently sold a multi-volume set by Mykhailo Hrushevsky for one million and one hryvnia on Violity, as well as what happened to the previous set he sold for one million four hundred.

How does Vitalii formalize deals? What is his attitude to restoration? What influences price fluctuations in the market and what do buyers consider when choosing antiquarian books? Who buys old books in general, and do their new owners read them? Where does our hero keep his collection and which copy is priceless to him? A frank conversation about the most interesting things awaits you.
Denys and his guest discuss how an ideal private library is formed and what it looks like. They also discuss why nurtured collections can end up in the trash. What kind of treasures can be found in seemingly unremarkable collections, what kind of book Vitalii would buy if he had an unlimited budget, and what are the most valuable lots he has put up on Violity right now.
