                   Mystery author to speak April 17
     
     John Dunning, antiquarian book dealer and best-selling
mystery author, will speak on "Writing Mysteries and
Selling Rare Books-A Dual Life" at the annual dinner of the
UD Library Associates, to be held Thursday, April 17, in
Arsht Hall.
     Dunning, an expert on rare and collectible books, will
discuss how valuable volumes can be hidden in plain view
among otherwise ordinary book collections and will share an
insider's glimpse into the wonderful, unpredictable world
of old and not-so-old, rare books.
     Dunning was the proprietor of the Old Algonquin
Bookstore in Denver for many years before recently opening
an appointment-only, first edition business.
     To request an invitation, contact the library
director's office at 831-2231.
